Water storage

[Ajm]

I was keeping some water on hand in specified buckets with lids but the water gets a mildew smell. Should I keep water on hand or what? How does everyone else do it?

I use a trash can open on top with a air hose in it. I have also used a powerhead to mix salts and what not. You don't want it to just sit around and not be moving if its going to be more then a day or two.

I keep mine in buckets and its fine.. what kind of water are you keeping? Treated tap/ Ro/Di. / mixed saltwater?

Okay I didn't know to keep it moving I'll do that. It was RO with salt mixed already.

I keep mine in a 20 gal rubbermaid tote in the garage. I keep the cover open. I mix it about ever other dy and havent had a problem. Ive never smelled it though.
