I have a bunch of the plastic water jugs filled with well water and keep getting this film inside. They were left outside for a couple of months but are stored inside now. I couldn't clean it out with bleach but they still end up floating free in the water. How can I tell if it's just hard water deposits vs some kind of algae or biofilm?

Those big totes are cheaper than I thought. Especially when rainwater tanks are mostly $500-1000.

You just need to be sure what they were used for originally.
