Storing RODI water?

[jam583]

I make it in a big 60 gallon container and for the most part store it in the container. It drops down and mixes with salt, etc.

However, for top offs, etc., I wanted to store it in 1 gallon plastic jugs (the jugs it comes in at the store). Thoughts? Basically, I wanted to take 10 jugs and put a gallon in each, and recap. I imagine this would be a non issue, but wanted to ask. I find it easier to top off with it ready to go in smaller jugs.

As long as they are food grade it shouldn't be a problem.

They are lefover empty RODI ones I bought at store, so I assume it's safe.

I've been doing this for years; no issues. Just be sure to wash it out thoroughly if it's a milk jug.

Almost same question. I made 50 gallons of RODI water to keep on hand in case I need to make saltwater or to top off. I kept a pump running inside the barrel. Is this necessary?

It is a good idea to keep the water moving so it doesnt go stagnate. That would take a while but I have one running all the time.
