I'm still up in the air on the garbage can thing. I was using the same rubber maid can to store my RO water in. After testing everything I could think of on how my water quality got so bad I finally tested the water sitting in the rubber maid and it tested at 50 ppm for TDS (total disolved solids). The water coming out of the RO unit was at 8 ppm. Not great but acceptable. So after seeing the results I'm thinking the trash can was leaching something into the water.

I would mabe rinse the trash can out real good with vinegar for now and in the near future look at getting something food grade that won't leach stuff into the water you've spent so much money on to get "clean"

Just my $0.02....
