How to store RO water

[Aqua sobriquet]

I use something similar for storing rainwater after I’ve filtered it.

Yep we know because i have these big foodgrade jerrycans for many years and my fish look very good 🙂

@Walt1908 Interested to know how you get your RO water from here into your tank.

Looks like some sort of daisy-chained arrangement, but suspect that is for filling rather than emptying?

Hi LFNfan.

Thats easy, with an autodoser.
My open tank loses aprox 2,5 liters daily due to evaporation.

My dozer adds some fertz in the system and then it injects a particular amount of water into the tube that 'pushes' the fertz and ofcourse the water in my tank.

Pump 1 is my water.

Excellent. Got it 👍 Looks like quite some setup there!

As well as daily top-offs, do you do a big weekly or fortnightly water change? And if so, does the autodoser work for that too?

I do a manual waterchange for 1/4 of my volume every month. Whilst doing that i vacuum my thank on the side.

My pumps for my fertz, daily dose, have never been changed in almost 4 years. My waterpump on my autodozer every 6 months or just before a long holiday since the white tubing in it will wear out eventually and cause a leak.
