I store my ro water for as long as 2 weeks. My salt water that I mix I use to fast, but as long as you keep the water moving with some type of pump you should be able to keep for a long time.

I've stored mixed SW in a tightly covered container for at least 3 weeks. I just drop a powerhead in it a little while before I want to use it and I've never had a problem.

I too have stored my safely for up to two weeks. Probably could go longer. Just make sure you circulate the water prior to use.
