    I run my RO unit once a month and then I have been storing my RO water for water changes and top-offs in milk jugs (20 of them) and i was wondering if there are any negative aspects to this method.

    Nope. Glass is fine. The only downside would be inconvenience.

    I found that a new rubbermaid 30g garbage can fit with a float valve has been very convenient for storing the water. To get it out, I have used a "leftover" power head and clear tubing...
