Default Ro-Di water storage


"... RO/DI water is highly reactive, this includes air for sure."


reactive? Since when? Any type of water is about as inert as you can
get

If you're using this as drinking water it needs to be sealed off from the
air and stored in an NSF approved container. RO/DI water is highly
reactive, this includes air for sure. Do you have them completely sealed
off? If not, then you will need to find a way to seal them off otherwise
you're fighting a losing battle.

Hope that helps.

I have 2 fiberglass cylinders one that holds 45 gal (Di H2O) and one that
holds 25 gal (Ro H2O) I bleached these tanks out for days and rinsed them
thoroughly, one week after storing H2O in them the Ro tanks H20 has such a
musty smell and taste, we cannot drink it, the Di tanks water smells

musty,
I do not try to store more than 10 gal of Ro H2O or 20 gal of Di H2O at a
time unless I am going to do an H2O change (Di H2O).

Any suggestions? would a little peroxide help????

TIA,

Reaper
