Last night I mixed up 12 gallons of saltwater and put them into 1 gallon water containers. I put them into my walkin closet, so no light will get to them.
One thing I noticed is that my Rubbermaid container is leaching something into the water. My RO/DI comes out zero PPM. When I filled it up it tested zero PPM again. However I was sort of lazy with mixing it up. After day one the RO/DI tested 1 PPM, a day later 2 PPM, then almost 3 and 4 PPM. I even covered it to make sure nothing was getting in.
SO I dumped that water and filled it up again and put the salt in right then.
Since I only have a 12 gallon I can change 2 gallons a week for the next six weeks QUICK as a snake!
