what about this water storage idea?

how long have you had them for this purpose?

for about a year this was my primary mixing vessel. it was the largest tub i could find that was strong enough not to bow like crazy. i would typically store my RODI water in the garage in 5 gallon buckets, then bring it upstairs and do my salt mix in the tub, letting it mix for up to two weeks in some cases before doing my water change.

i eventually switched to a 30 gallon extra high glass fish tank because i was able to hide it inside a cleverly modified piece of furniture that sat next to the main tank. the plastic tote had the wrong dimensions to fit.

now i use large brute trash cans in the basement, and pump it up through the floor.

i had no issues that i could attribute to using those as a mixing vessel. i still keep them around for moving, extra mixing capacity if needed, or an otherwise temporary container for housing livestock in an emergency.

I think that is a fairly standard code.
