Collecting R/O water

grouper25 · 10/20/2006, 09:42 AM

I plan to use my new R/O system to fill a 55 gallon polyproplyne(I thinK) garbage container which is new. I am concerned about some of the chemicals leaching from the comtainer walls into the water if left for a period of a few weeks. It will be set up with a auto shut off float so I always have water available. How do most do this. Someone said line the inside of the container witha large garbage can liner??? Is this the correct way.

Thanks

I think most people just use rubbemaid trash cans. AS long as they are new and you never use soap on it I dont think there is going to be a chemical issue.
