You can buy buckets for very little. Why is it a bad/worse idea?

The water container obviously depends on how you are cooling it, if its in a fridge then it needs to fit but if using an external chiller you could use pretty much anything.

    Remember water which isn't sterile (and manipulated in a glove box under sterile circumstances) accumulates mold, bacteria, assorted nasty protists etc.

    Depends on what you do with it, but yeah. Got an aquarium so aware of some of the things water can like doing if neglected. But for a bucket cooling reservoir you could also just add chemicals to keep it clean enough or replace it periodically.
