Cloudy ro/di water

[Wardawg67]

Why does my ro/di water turn cloudy after remaining in my 32 gal brute container? I have this water always on standby for topoff or used to mix with salt. Currently my Tds is at 1. Thanks to all in advance.

My guess would be bacteria. How long since you cleaned out this Brute container? How long since you cleaned up and sanitized the RODI unit?

Thank you for replying! I'd say about 2 weeks ago. I haven't cleaned but replaced the filters approx 2 months ago... Hence the Tds reading.

I'd guess bacteria, too. The water should be fine to use, if that's the cause of the cloudiness.

Thanks Bertoni. I will use the water.

ALL: Any ideas as to what causes this? Any ideas on removing it from the water column while in the 32 gal brute container? Anything I can do to prevent from occurring?

My best guess is that some organics got into the water somehow. It'd take only a tiny amount to feed a bacterial haze.
