How are you guys storing your
RO/DI water? I've got the "drinking water" kit that comes with many units, but it only stores about 2 gallons. Not nearly enough for a water change of any size.
When I was in college, I rigged up a 15 gallon (or so) drum to feed from my
RO unit, with an overflow tube that took water to the drain once the drum was full. I had it mounted up high, so I could gravity feed using a hose to any of my tanks. That was nearly 15 years and a number of moves ago, and that drum is long gone.
I've been thinking of getting something similar going with a 55 gallon drum so I have good capacity as well as a supply of disaster water for the inevitable SoCal earthquake.
I'm curious if anyone else has done something similar or what everyone else is using. Photos would be cool too.
It might be kind of cool to do a mod that also keeps the water heated to make salt mixing easier, but that might lead to some sort of bacteria growth, I guess.
