Teflon as in some teflon coated pans or as in liquid teflon they coat those pans with?

First one yes, second one I'd say absolutely not.
Teflon is not nice stuff.

Welcome to permies!

I don't like teflon. I recommend filding some other IBC totes to use.

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect

I would only use food-grade IBC to water a garden.

These have been easy to find in my experience.

Pass on the Teflon tote. Here's the SDS: https://www.spacematdb.com/spacemat/safety/Teflon%20Advanced%20MSDS.pdf

In theory, you could clean the hell out of it BUT it's harmful to aquatic life so no good way to clean it that doesn't release it into groundwater.

I don't own the plants, they own me.
