Water storage???
 
I have about 10 gallons of RO/DI water mixed with salt that I made about 3 months ago.

I have had it without a lid with a power head for movement and blowing bubbles into it.

Question is - Is this still ok to use??

With evaporation I'd think your bucket would be closer to 6-7 gallons by now.

Don't know -- test it.

still good, I would cover it thow.

I would pass on using it, but its just a personal preference. Test it.

Check your salinity. But it should be okay.

Thanks for the replies! I will test it just to make sure before I use it.

Where was it stored? (( what room )) Was there a chance that anything got into it? An aerosol or something like that?

spider86 10/21/2007 06:51 PM

Its stored in the basement, so I think the only thing that could have gotten into it is dust.

cd77 10/21/2007 06:54 PM

It's just 10 gallons.. why risk it?

virginiadiver69 10/21/2007 07:05 PM

Ditto.

Toddrtrex 10/21/2007 07:10 PM

I am going to have to agree with cd77 --- it isn't worth it. Should only take a couple of hours to make 10 more gallons of RO/DI water.
