wot_fan Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 How often do you clean/sterilize your top water container? I have been told by a reliable source that bad stuff will eventually grow in a container with just RO water. Keeping the water moving with an air stone is suppose to help but it doesn't stop it. I would appreciate any advice/comments. Thanks . Edwardnah and Johnnydok 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 depends on the container. if you use a container no light can penetrate then nothing will grow inside. for example. I have 2 of those 55G blue food grade containers. 1 in my shrimp room in a dark corner near the sink that collects RO water and I have the 2nd outside the room which collects the RO unit waste water. Because this one is located outside and exposed to the sun, even this blue container i can see some algae growing on the inside. no big deal since this is used to water plants and such. at some point i'll probably make a bamboo fence around it with some plants to hide it. but low on the list. wot_fan and Shrimpie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I don't think there is any thing bad. It may be just algae, it's fine. wot_fan and EricM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wot_fan Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thank you both for the comments. My 40G RO storage bin and my ATO 5G buckets are all opaque so I should be good. Thanks again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
