What are peoples RODI storage solutions?

Search if you have a Tank Depot near you, I was able to pick up two 50g containers for about $380 during a sale. They have bulkheads on the bottom for plumbing and a large opening for clean up or adding salt.

Vertical storage tanks are most frequently used for bulk storage and mobile nursing applications. Norwesco vertical tanks feature tie-down slots, built-in graduated gallon indicators, an offset fill-opening and a self-vented, slosh-proof lid.

These 55 gallon drums are food safe and cheaper than the alternatives I was able to find when I was looking earlier this year:

Plastic Drum with Lid - 55 Gallon, Open Top S-9945 - Uline

Uline stocks over 41,000 shipping boxes, packing materials, warehouse supplies, material handling and more. Same day shipping for cardboard boxes, plastic bags, janitorial, retail and shipping supplies.

I might be mistaken but I believe you should not use rodi for a freshwater tank. Ro yes but not deionized. Same as you shouldn't drink rodi but ro is fine to drink.

There is nothing wrong with drinking RODI water.

Most of the bottled water sold in grocery and convenience stores in Asia and Pacific countries is RODI water as it is cheap and easy to make compared to alternatives such as distillation.

If your are looking low cost that works then go brute can. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra few bucks on the wheel base that attaches to the bottom for easy moving.

If you want to go a bit higher grade then the Uline barrels linked above work well, or if you don't want to pay shipping and want it today just visit your local Tractor Supply. They tend to have a TON of different potable water storage tanks sitting outside in the yard. From 10 gals all the way up to 500 gals and higher!

Hi all, as I am in Europe and with limited storage space only (and a wife that is not in favor of sharing our bedroom with a large RODI storage tank unfortunately...) does anyone in Europe have some recommendations of reasonably priced storage tanks?

I am planning to get a Red Sea Peninsula 500 G2+ that fits nicely where I want it and I would need likely somewhere around 100 liter RODI storage volume with large enough lid or screwing lid, preferably rectangular that would fit on top of my washing machine (ca. 35cm x 70cm x 35cm or similar).

Also, for the new Red Sea G2+ Tanks, if I see correctly they come with no ATO Reservoir anymore. What do you guys use as ATO Reservoir and where did you get it (also preferably available in Europe ).

Cheers
