Full details

Its primary benefit is its robust construction from recycled LDPE, offering superior puncture and tear resistance.

FAQs

What materials can I safely put in the Flexi-Tub?

You can safely store and transport a wide range of materials, including soil, gravel, sand, cement, rubble, garden waste, tools, and liquids (ensure it's upright to prevent spills).

Is the recycled plastic safe for food contact?

The tub is made from 100% recycled LDPE. While durable, it is not certified for direct food contact. It is best used for non-food items like garden materials or construction supplies.

How resistant is it to extreme temperatures?

The Flexi-Tub is designed to be resistant to rain, sun, and frost, meaning it can withstand a broad range of outdoor temperatures without becoming brittle or degrading.

Can this tub be easily damaged by sharp objects?

No, the tub features reinforced edges and is made from puncture and tear-resistant LDPE, making it significantly more durable against sharp objects than standard plastic containers.

What is the total weight capacity of the tub?

While specific weight limits are not published, the reinforced design and handles are intended for heavy-duty use, such as carrying rubble or large amounts of soil. Distribute weight evenly for best results.

How do I clean the tub if it gets very dirty?

For stubborn dirt, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive brush. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the plastic.

What does 'LDPE' mean?

LDPE stands for Low-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic known for its flexibility, toughness, and resistance to chemicals and moisture.

Troubleshooting

Tub retains odor after use.

Clean thoroughly with a mild detergent and water. For persistent odors, try a solution of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few hours, then rinse well.

Slight deformation after heavy load.

This is usually temporary. Empty the tub and allow it to return to its natural shape. Ensure heavy loads are distributed evenly.

Handles feel stiff or difficult to grip.

Ensure there is no debris lodged in the handle area. The flexibility of the LDPE means they may become stiffer in very cold temperatures; warming slightly can restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ProSolve Flexi-Tub requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This tub is compatible with a wide variety of materials, including wet and dry substances. Its durable plastic construction makes it suitable for use with potentially corrosive garden chemicals (ensure thorough cleaning after use).

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, rinse the tub with water. For tougher residues, use a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  2. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use is not recommended, although the material is UV resistant.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the handles and reinforced edges for any signs of excessive wear, though significant wear is unlikely under normal use.
