RODI and Salt Water Storage

[de1nonly23]

Hey guys I am ready to make up some water for my new 75RR. My question is are there any alternatives to the Brute trashcans that most use for storage. Would a rubbbermaid tote or something similar work?

anything that is food grade or food safe.

5 gallon buckets from home depot, rinse them out with some vinegar and ro, they're cheap

Don't use the cheaper rubbermaid trash can or the like unless you want water all over the floor. I know from experience. Spend the money and get the brutes.

Thanks for the input...Guess Brutes it is. Alcatoe where can I get the food grade barrels?

Home Depot, Lowes or Ace. Says food grade on the bottom.

I wish I was able to run the RO/DI directly to my plumbing. I have made room in the garage for my storage tanks..Now have to figure out how to get water from storage tank to DT for the initial fill up. Any idea....Do I run a long vinyl tube to tank or put storage on a dolly and wheel it in.

Food some food grade barrels. Now I have to figure out the best way to get water from garage to DT? Any ideas other then running a pump and vinyl tubing from garage to tank...

just run the 1/4" tubing on the floor it will be fine for 1st fill up
