Tpshrimper Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 What do you guys use to store RO Water? I'm switching my regimine so I can make all the water I need on the weekends and store it, rather than making it throughout the week. Looking for the best container to store the water that won't create issues. Thanks shrimpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally cover it with a lid, so dust and such doesnt go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I use that exact same Brute Trash Can. I installed an RO float valve and a spigot that I picked up at my local homebrew store. I attached a PVC elbow and ran a piece of PVC pipe to the bottom of the trash can, I also jam a piece of 1/2" tubing into the mouth of that spigot. This allows me to draw water from the bottom of the trash can and put it into buckets for water changes. I run an airline with a stone into the trash can to keep the water agitated. Below is a rough (very, very rough) illustration. Red is inside the trash can, black is outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenster Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 ^ Ok, your spigot reminds me of something. OMG, don't make me say it...LoL On a more serious note, I'm using food grade 5 gallon buckets from Lowes. May need to upgrade to a Brute in the future when I set up my rack.

Marines have the uncanny ability to make anything we draw look like a "spigot". Haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
