Now that is a good idea, since we go without drinking water for a couple of
hours after a water change.. (other than what we have in the fridge)

I'm looking at getting an RO/DI system and was wandering as the tank
comes with a stainless steel holding tank if anyone knows if this being
stainless steel will be a problem for my reef/fish tanks? I was concerned
as I thought I read somewhere you don't want to keep water in stainless
steel before putting it into your tanks as it could leach some metals??
Anyone have any ideas on this?


You can always put a 1/4" tee and a 1/4" check valve to dirrect
fish tank water to a plastic can with a level switch and drink
the water from the pressurized tank connected to the kitchen faucet...

I have water going into the left-over Instant Ocean bucket (6.5 gallons)
I drilled small hole in the wall near the top for the level switch
and my bucket never overflows into my kitchen floor... again :-) I plan to
add pressurized stainless tank to collect water for
the kitchen faucet and use my RO/DI filter for dual purpose:
fish tank water and drinking water.
