I know this thread has been dead for a few days, but I have a couple of questions.
1. Alot of people are using tall storage tanks. How do you add the bulkheads when there is not any way to reach them from the inside? Brute Trash can method would be easy, but I like the 150 gallon storage tanks vice the 32 gallon brute.
2. What kind of external pumps are people using?

Small Children. If you don't have any of your own, there are a few still left running around outside and at the parks... (Although most are found indoors on computers and video game systems)

Aside from the low levels of oxygen, I would not let my children climb in a narrow tube, nor would they want too. Most of the storage containers I have seen on this thread have a very narrow opening on the top, large enough for an arm but certainly not a torso. How are bulkheads installed? Are they drilled externally and glue in place with silicone? I dont see how it would be possible to thread the internal side.
Uniseals.
"Why use an expensive bulkhead when you can use a Uniseal®? Just drill a hole in the pipe, tank or bucket, insert a Uniseal®, then put some Windex® on the end of the pipe and push it in. It's that easy! Feels like rubber, but they are made of DuPont Alcryn® rated to 40 psi and warranted for 25 years. They are immune to cold, will not harden and hold pressure and vacuum. The sizes below correspond to standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Fit tank wall thicknesses up to 1/2 ". Made in USA."

Do any of you have an issue with salt contaminating fresh water and vice versa? Using one pipe for both RODI and salt, how do you overcome this?

Possibly, but the amount of salt that would get into my ATO water would be so minuscule that I've never worried about it. I can try next time I run saltwater through and then fill my ATO what the salinity is, but I doubt it will register.

Alright I need all the good people on RC to analyze this design. I have to give credit to reefergill on youtube for the basic design and I just modified it a bit.
Goals
1. Have the ability to pump fresh or salt water from my station in my garage to my tank in my living room(50 ft)
2. Use only 1 pump in the design.
3. Ability to gravity feed small amounts of fresh RO for mixing food or supplements.
4. Be able to fully drain containers(both barrels are raise to allow bulkheads on the bottom of the barrels. Thank you reefgill or whoever else has done this design)
5. Gravity backup if pump failed.
Ok will this work? What have I missed?
