My house I purchased came with an RO drinking water faucet and was fully functional hooked up. I recently unhooked it and just ran the line to the basement to use as water for my saltwater tank but have a few questions.
1. Is there any harm in filling up a 35 gallon (brand new) trashcan with water and letting it sit for weeks without using it? I just always want to have my water source ready to go because it only puts out 3-4 gallons per 8 hours but I am only doing water changes 12 gallons per week or so.
2. How can you tell if the filters need replaced? My guess is that they havent been replaced in a couple of years but it also has not been used in a long time.
3. How much better is RO water over regular tap water?
4. Is there anything else I need to know about this before using it?
Thanks for your help!
