I have a 6 stage RODI unit which feeds a 32 gallon Burte can with a float valve installed. I have an ATO pump inside the can and an MJ1200 Pump. I use the MJ1200 to transfer Filtered water from the holding container to the mixing container for a water change. The ATO pulls filtered water when it is needed for top-off. I have a lid in place with a few notches for the cords and hoses. This sits in my basement behind the wall of the Aquarium location next to the sump. This is a spare/junk room.

Today I pulled the lid off to get to the ATO pump and the smell smacked me in the face. I noticed mold and mildew on the underside of the lid and top end of the container above the water full line. I need to know what can be done to prevent this. I cleaned the container and don't need info on that. Just what, if anything, am I doing wrong that this cest pool was living in my basement?

Thanks in advance.
 
Try looking for some blue food grade barrels. You can usually find them on offer up or Craigslist.
