slime in make up water container?
I use a rubbermade trash can for my RODI water. I pulled a Powerhead that had been in there out and it had a clear slime on it. I also noticed that the walls of the container had the same stuff on it. What is this junk?
I washed out the container and refilled the can. The next day it started to come back. |

That thread refers to salt-mixed water. What could cause this in fresh RO water?

I cleaned the container with bleach the last time. I will try another container and see if it's the trash can or something in the water. I also have left the top off the can. I will place the top on to block out light.
