Hello all. So I've had this idea, from reading around, to store my RO water in a 55g Rubbermaid Brute trashcan. I have 2 ways of getting my RO water. At my parents house (she has a RO filter system for drinking water) or the local grocery store which charges 0.25 a gallon. The grocery store is a heck of a lot closer, not to mention the filter system and my parents house won't keep up with filling a 55g trashcan. I'm in a position now, where installing a RO or RO/DI system at my house isn't possible. I no longer want to use tap (from a well) water due to its chemistry.
My plan is to get one, or two, 55g Rubbermaid Brute trashcans. I would transport the water in smaller buckets to fill one trashcan. I'm assuming I would need a pump to circulate the water, and a heater to keep it at my tank temp. I'm debating on using the extra trashcan to empty my tank for the PWC, and obviously the filled trashcan to put back in the tank, using a pump.
Does anyone have any input, suggestions, comments, or anything? Haha. I'm also looking for some pictures if anyone has any kind of set ups like this.
Thanks for the help in advance.
