Saltinthedesert Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Does anything bad happen to RO water if it sits in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket for a few weeks with a lid on it? Not sure if it would take on anything toxic from the bucket or lose/gain anything that would be dangerous for fish. Historically I have tried to do water changes on the tanks that need RO pretty quickly but sometimes I buy one more bucket than I need. Is it safe to use a month later or should I just dump it?

KBOzzie59 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I do my "special water" in a 40 gallon plastic garbage can with no cover/lid. Sometimes it sits for over a month, no issues so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndfi78 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Thanks for asking this @Saltinthedesert, I've been wondering the same thing. I'd like to start prepping my water for the next change when I complete the current change but didn't know if I would have issues with leaching.

CT_ Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think most people that store water keep an air stone in it. At least the ones on YouTube I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
