RODI water feels slimey (SpectraPure 5 stage)

Anyone have a similar problem. In my rodi trash can next to my tank for ATO the water feels nasty and slimey, anyone else ever have this happen? Even after putting PRIME in.

My Brute trash can that I use for mixing salt water in does feels smiley from time to time. Is yours a Brute?

Probably just a thin biofilm (bacteria) on the can. Nothing to worry about. No reason to add Prime.

Good to know. I use a brute garbage can as well and it smells with RO water. What's kinda odd about it is I have another can that I use to mix saltwater and it doesn't smell
