Product Information
Full details
The ProSolve Flexi-Tub (15-litre, Yellow) is designed for builders, gardeners, and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable, flexible container for various tasks. Its primary benefit is its robust construction from recycled LDPE, offering puncture and tear resistance for heavy-duty use. A potential consideration is its 15-litre capacity, which may be small for very large projects.

FAQs
What is the ProSolve Flexi-Tub made from?
It is made from high-density, 100% recycled LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) plastic.
What is the capacity of this tub?
This specific model has a capacity of 15 litres.
Can this tub be used outdoors in all weather?
Yes, it is resistant to rain, sun (UV), and frost, making it suitable for outdoor use year-round.
How do I clean the Flexi-Tub?
You can rinse it out after use. For tougher dirt, a damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the tub stackable?

What is the main advantage of the reinforced edges and handles?
They significantly increase the tub's resistance to punctures and tears, allowing it to handle heavier or rougher materials without damage.
Troubleshooting
Tub feels less flexible than expected
Ensure the tub has not been exposed to extreme cold for an extended period. Bring it to room temperature; flexibility should return.
Handles feel loose
Inspect the connection points where the handles meet the tub body. While designed to be integrated, ensure no debris is lodged, and there is no visible cracking around the handle base. Contact customer support if damage is suspected.
Plastic has developed a slight odor
Clean the tub thoroughly with soap and water, rinse well, and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
