Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Flex Tub - 15 Litre in Green is designed for versatile use across gardening, home maintenance, and building sites. Its key benefit is the durable, heavy-duty polyethylene construction offering both strength and flexibility for carrying solids and fluids. A potential caveat is its 15-litre capacity, which may be too small for very large projects.

FAQs
What is the exact capacity of the Faithfull Flex Tub?
The Faithfull Flex Tub has a capacity of 15 litres.
Can this tub be used for hot liquids?
This tub is primarily designed for cold or ambient temperature materials. It is not recommended for hot liquids as the polyethylene may deform.
Is the material safe for food contact?
The product description does not specify food-grade certification. It is recommended for general use around the garden, home, and building sites, not for direct food storage or transport.
How should I clean the tub if it gets muddy?
Rinse the tub with water. For persistent mud or dirt, use a mild soap and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid abrasive scourers.
What makes the handles 'super-strong'?
The handles are molded directly from the heavy-duty polyethylene and are reinforced to provide a strong, comfortable grip even when the tub is filled to its capacity.
Will the green color fade in the sun?
The tub is UV stable, meaning it is designed to resist fading and degradation from prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Can I leave this tub outside all year round?
Yes, the tub is both frost-resistant and UV stable, making it suitable for permanent outdoor use. However, storing it out of direct sunlight when not in use can further extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Tub appears to be leaking
Inspect the tub carefully for any visible punctures or cracks. If a small crack is found, consider using a heavy-duty tape designed for plastics or replacing the tub.
Handles feel weak or damaged
Ensure the handles are not overloaded beyond the tub's capacity. If damage is visible, avoid using the tub for heavy loads and consider replacement.
Material seems brittle in cold weather
While rated as frost-resistant, extreme prolonged cold can affect the flexibility of any plastic. Allow the tub to warm up before use in very cold conditions if it feels less flexible than usual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Faithfull Flex Tub requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: This tub is designed for general-purpose use and is compatible with most common garden and building materials. It is suitable for carrying water, soil, compost, sand, gravel, animal feed, and other dry or wet materials. Avoid using it with highly corrosive chemicals, as this may degrade the polyethylene over time.
Care: To maintain the tub, simply rinse it out with water after each use. For stubborn dirt or residue, use a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Store in a dry place when not in use, preferably out of direct prolonged sunlight to maximize its lifespan, although it is UV stable.
