RO/DI storage

[reeftexas]

What do you guys store your filtered water in?? I'm getting 0 reading out of my filter,but when I check it in my blue 5 gal jugs I get readings of 7 and higher which is still OK,but I want 0 going in the tank. Thanks for any feed back.

Rubbermaid BRUTE 44g trash can

You're looking for HDPE or LDPE grade materials

lloydkeller- Maybe my jugs are too old and they are leaching into the water. I'm not sure

White 5g jugs for me too. Your blue one may be leaking something, I've heard some containers may leak phosphates.

Tswift8-- Thats the ticket. Thanks guys. Do you have a float on your BRUTE>

 

[Tswifty]

Nope. It's seperated from my system in my garage.

I will be hooking up another container to my tank this week via an ATO with float switches and a aqualifter pump though.
