[firehazard]

if i have ro water in a bucket. and i use one gallon for evap water and leave the rest in the bucket. will it get contaminated or will it not be at pure... wat if i put a valve in the bucket so i wouldnt have to open it just open the valve.

if you keep it uncovered i'm sure stuff will get in there and make the water dirty but it should be fine to use if kept well covered

would i neeed a puower head to keep the water moving in the bucket? how long could i keep ro water in a bucket for. stagnant? circulating?

no need. just think of it as bottled water. unless there was salt in it i wouldn't worry about keeping it circulating

You should let your ro run for at least one min. to let out old water stuck in the unit from the last time you used.Also invest in a tds meter to let you know when you filters are going bad.....

i dont have a ro filter. and its not in my best interests to purchase one either. (nano). basically thinking if i should but 5 gal of ro water or distilled. the advantages of the distilled is that it already comes a 1gal jug. so i'd just use one for water changes. if i buy the ro i would fill up a 5gal bucket and just use 1 gal at a time. whats your opinions?
