I can't wait to get it. What's the best container for storing water in? I don't want to try using something that could leach anything into the water over the long term.

Brute trashcans. They are food safe.

I use a 5 gal "Homer" bucket from Home Depot and fill it once a week for top-off. I'm pretty sure it is food grade also.

I use polyethylene drums. They are super tough, resist spillage and can be easily plumbed with a circulation loop.
