????? About Rodi water

[Andresm]

Ok after I run my water through my rodi system how long can I keep that water stored, I have it circulating in there, will It go bad? I see the water jugs at the fish store with water, do they last long in those jugs and where can I buy a couple?

it's best stored in a airtight container then aerate when you use it.

You can use a brute trash can from home depot or lowes, they work well. You can also use a food grade barrel. Here is a link to Dave the barrel man here in town.

i use a 55 gallon barrel turned on its side with a float switch on top bung and a valve on the bottom to empty it. also a small hole in top bung to vent air when i drain water out

i have a 55g with a float on top, but my ? is how long can i keep that water in the 55g or do i need to store it into something else. and what do u do with the water in the rodi while its not working?

Just leave it. I leave my RODI for days/weeks with no circulation. Only salt mix gets a powerhead. I don't even put the cap on my storage container since I have equipment that prevents it.

I keep my water in a 32 gallon brute, I recently bought another 10 gallon brute to keep my saltwater in..that way I have 32 of RO water and 10 of salt on hand at all times... Thinking of just doing 10 gallon weekly changes instead of my my 30 gallon bi weekly....
