is my ro/di water still ok?

about 8-10 days ago I filled up my brute garbage can with some water I made.
Its been sitting in my garage since then (its about 40-45 degrees)
my tds reads 0.0 should I test anything else before I use this as top off in my tank?

no, it should be fine. If you are storing ro water for a long time then you should make sure the top of the storage bin can breath and run a very small power head in it for circulation.
Thats actually a good temp to store it--elimates alot of bacteria that could get in the water as in the summer time
I guess there is one advantage of our climate--lol--right now I can only think of one
