Hi

I wondered if anyone can give me advice on the following? We have a
small kitchen and my RO unit takes up a lot or working surface space.
It's therefore better to make lots (relatively speaking) of RO water in
one go and pack everything away than make a small amount every
Saturday. If I bottle the water in food-grade sealed containers how
long can I keep the water for? Will it go off eventually?

If I take that idea one stage further and make up sea water can this
also be stored or will that go bad after a while?

Many thanks for your help.

David

I dont know about FOREVER,
but kept ouside of sunlight for a long long time.

Bottled water (sparklets-aquafina) shelf life or best when used by
,date their bottles 2 years.

am not saying to use bottled water for your tank but the manufactures
guide line is safe to follow.

Just keep out of sunlight.

I keep a 22 gallon Rubbermaid container with a lid for top off water in my
tank. This lasts me about a month. I have a small powerhead in the container
to keep it stirring all the time.
