I would go one step further. Fill them to the brim and let them set overnight. Then PH test them before draining. Sometimes chemicals get leached into the seams and plastic itself, this will hpefully make them as safe to use as they can be.

You just want to make sure it is not over 8.0 since it had soap in it. If it is, either your water is high or there is soap left in it.

tested the water in the barrels when I got home. I had to buy another test kit because the ex threw out the other one. 35 bucks down the tube but to a good cause. well the ph in the new filter barrels and out of the tap read the same 7.6. so not too bad
