Heated water in storge?

[zbrook1]

Im about to set up a 24 gal. Rubbermaid storage container with float valve that my RO/DI water can flow into for saltwater to use for my water changes. My question is can I leave a heater in the storage water to bring it up to my tank temp so water changes are seamless. Or is there a chance the water will turn bad with heat applied. I was also going to put a powerhead on a timer in the container to move the water around.

I do keep a heater in my WC Brute. I also have a mag 7 that runs 24/7 to keep the water circulating. That same mag is plumbed so all I have to do is open one valve and the water from the Brute flows into my sump.

I dont heat my storage water or topoff water. No need to. When I make SW for a change, it needs to mix for awhile anyway. I heat it up then.

No need to store the wate heated, but it should not hurt anything.
