newaqua Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi all. Just wanting to know what you think. I am looking at storing my RODI water in a 20L 'Jerry Can'. The type bulk spirits and the like come in. It is white, opaque, not quite see through, but you can see the water level. Would this be ok? I will have my RODI setup to it. Does anyone have any ideas about mould growing or anything inside it? Anything I should be concerned about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the lid on i was getting crud dirt inside somehow. I was storing mixed SW. I used one of those camping water containers that you are talking about a few years ago with no issues.

alanmin4304 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 They are food safe so should be OK. Would pay to keep it in the dark to avoid algae growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 This is a totally innocent question so no one bite please. Why do people store RODI water if they have a unit? Why not process the water when you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's too slow if you need to do an emergency water change or are changing quite a bit of water at a time. It usually takes 24 hours to dissolve and heat ASW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 This is a totally innocent question so no one bite please. Why do people store RODI water if they have a unit? Why not process the water when you need it? Like Godly says, it's slow. My RO/DI would only produce in the region of 2-3 liters per hour, most on good mains pressure will do more though.

Adrienne Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 So then its mixed with salt, and stored in the event of an emergency at which time a heater is whacked in? If thats the case I might need to invest in some containers like new aqua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 If you buy Puredew water at some stage - keep the bottles. 10L each and quite convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
