RO/DI water can sit for a long period of time (months if not longer) as long as it is sealed up and cannot be contaminated. I would put a power head in there to keep the water moving.

The key is sealing it up. DI water is always wanting to get back to its natural dirty state so attracts anything it can. I use sealed 5G water bottles.
