Storing RO/DI Water

Where do you store your RO/DI water? I currently store it in a 40 gallon plastic trash can....

 

I use a gray Brute trash can. The gray, red, and yellow Brutes are all food safe.

 

I have an RO/DI coming from Air, water, and ice, shipped today. Does it have to be a dark container with a lid?

 

It's better if it is. The dark container will keep algae from growing and the lid will help keep the water clean.

 

Thank you, all...Yeah, that is my concern, the can being food safe....

 

Store salt and ROI run

Same here. I actually have 2. One for RO/DI One for saltwater. That way I'm always ready for a water change. I put them right next to each other so its easy to transfer RO to the salt mixing Brute. I run a UV on each can circulating the water through the UV. My top off is connected to the RO/DI. I also run an air stone in each. I have another pump in the saltwater can that I have connected to the tank to replace saltwater for changes.8) no lifting buckets.;D

Yeah, I have white 32 brute. We run a seio powerhead in it. We keep premade saltwater in 5 gallon buckets...We run small powerheads in each of the 5 gallon buckets

 

I have about 4 55 gallon plastic drums that im going to start using for rodi water and mixed saltwater. But the Brutes should be fine.

 

Here's my storage and mixing setup. The upper brute holds RO/DI. There are two valves coming out of it; one gos to a piece of 1" flex for filling buckets and the other into the salt mixing/storage tank below. I used 1" bulkheads so it only takes about 8 seconds to fill a 5 gallon bucket.

 

i went to tractor supply and got a 110 gal water storage tank to store mine in works good for me i just have to make water a couple times a month.
