Ro-Di water storage

Pure H2O is one of the best solvents, that is why in its normal state it is
hard, full of minerals and other stuff it dissolved, pure H2O is not very
good to drink because when it touches your stomach lining it pulls all of
the salt out of the cells, it is very reactive.

My thoughts are if it is lacking nutrients where is the musty smell coming
from? and if it is reactive how is anything living in it?

My tanks are sealed the best I can because I need an air hole to allow the
H2O to flow.

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,
