RO/DI Water Storage

[CKI]

My system will be coming in today, however, i live in a mobile home so i am limited on options as to placement. I plan to put the unit under my bathroom sink, what would be my best storage option for the water? I was just planning on getting some 5 gallon buckets and make up around 10gal weekly for evaporation and do around 15-20 gal monthly for my water changes. Would this be my best option given my situation and limitation on space?

I used Brute trash cans, but since space is an issue for you. I'm sure the buckets would work well. I always have 5 1 gallon water jugs ready to fill my ATO bucket.

If you have a trailer, any crawlspace under the floor? If so stick a 55 gal drum down there.

I have limited space as well. I use 5 gallon water jugs. I just keep three full and another for my ato.

I have very limited space under.... looks like ill take a trip to Ace Hardware and pick up a few 5 gallon buckets. I only go through about 5 gallons a week from my evap. An ATO would make my life so much easier. Guess its time to place another order.

I use a Rubbermaid 23 gallon rectangular recycling can for my ATO storage, it fit in a corner of my garage and doesn't take up much room. For changes I have five 5G drinking water jugs. You can also get those real nice stackable dark blue cube jugs at WalMart in the camping equipment area that hold like 6 or 7 gallons and are easy to fill, carry and stack.

If you go with buckets make sure they have snug fitting lids.

I store water for my ATO in 6 gallon containers sold in walmart.....green color.. They have a vent hole that is almost the exact size
as rigid airlne tubing. I uses an aqualifter for my top off so the rigid tubing fits right inside the vent hole.

I use the five gallon clear water jugs. Easy to come by....and usually for free.
