I am leaving for 3 days and I need to store the RO-DI water I have been making, I ran out of salt so I am going to pick that up on the way back and mix later. I didnt have any more bucket lids and as I was trying to find one I found a "Buckle-Up Box" (ill post a picture down there) Its waterproof but im worried about things leaching into the water.

As long as the bin is clean, it will be fine for a few days (with the lid on it). My ATO reservoir is a similar container, and it has safely held water for a couple weeks... If you are really concerned, 5 gallon buckets with a gasket (rubber seal) in the lid would work quite well for extended periods...

Thanks, I ended up using multiple 5 gallon buckets with BPA-FREE, Food Grade Wrap as a seal. Also, the buckets are in a dark room
