[Qingquwe]

i all i have a question for u i have my rodi water that was mixed with salt for my water changes i keep it in a 55 gallon drum and a pump running all the time but i just realized the pump to the power got turned off for 3 days can i still use this water for water changes or does it go bad after a bit please let me know

I only turn the pump on to mix the salt with water for initial 2-3 hours till it mixes clear then I turned everything off and the water sits stagnant for one month as I do water changes out of it on a daily basis. Some salt with high alkalinity will precipitate if there is a heat Source like a pump or powerhead. You're still good to use that water.

My RODI water has never had a pump or heater.....it is used strictly for topoffs. You will be fine

You will be fine, I make RODI and it sits in ‘clean’ plastic tubs for months until I need to use it without issues.

Oh and welcome to R2R as well!
