Rodi filter and salt mixing

[Jordan berry]

Just bought the brs 6 stage 150 water saving rodi filter which is over kill but I wanted touch save as much water as possible since I'm in Northeen California and we have to monitor our water usage. My questionson are;

Is there an easy way to do 100 gallons of salt water for my new tank? Should I measure out 5 gallons of water to add salt into at a time than dump into a big 100 gallon bucket with a power head to help it desolve?

2nd is there a good place to buy food grade water containers or should I just stick with the 100 gallon garbage can?

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance, Jordan

I would just use garbage cans to mix your saltwater as long as you can move them. Assuming that you need all 100 gallons of saltwater I would just heat the water, add the salt, stir the water until salt dissolves and then pump it into the new tank. Let your power heads do the rest.

Tractor supply might have the containers you are looking for.

I use two Brute cans plumbed together with bulkheads to give 88 gallons of new salt water (and 88 gallons of RO/DI and 132 gallons of top off limewater).

Awesome thank you. I think I will do a garbage can for the original setup and get a 35 gallon container from tractor supply to hold the rodi water to be ready to mix. For later.

Make sure whatever you use is not recycled. Also there are companies like aquafx that sell 40, 100, and even 250 gallon tanks to store/ mix water
