Airtight lid for Brute 32?

[ianryd]

Is there an airtight lid that will fit a Brute 32? I looked online and can't seem to find one, but maybe somebody here knows?

I was considering storing my water outside. It's been a moist summer and I'm having an issue with cockroaches in my basement (found one crawling inside the lid of my brute) so I'm trying to get my mixed water outside since roaches like water.

wow i am sorry that you have cockroaches,
storing water outside do you mean saltwater or rodi?

where do you live temp might be a concern too

You might be able to put weather striping around the rim of the brute can so that the lid will seal. Other than that, I don't think there is a air tight lid.

Yeah it sucks, our house isn't dirty or anything, it's gotta be the moisture they're attracted to. I would probably just store the RO water outside and pump it in to mix. I live in Denver Colorado, so temps do get extreme, but I think it would be ok outside for storage as long as I regulate the temp once it's indoors. I would still have my RO unit indoors.

i used to store mine in the 4 gallon nutria sea water cont. they have a twist top so there air tight, but i wouldnt want to store outside in direct sunlight
