Do i need circulation or airation in my rodi resevior?
I have a 20 gallon rodi resevior auto fed in by rodi and auto fed out by auto topoff into sump. It probably remains at about 15 gallons and I release 10 gallons a week into my salt mix WC bin. Should it have a constant flow or airation and if it doesn't what are the side effects?

Your salt mix container should have some flow to it.. Your rodi reserve should be fine.

No-There should be nothing to mix.

My 55g RO/DI reserve is totally stagnant. Since it adds to the tank one drip at a time I could care less if the O2 levels and temp are a little off.
 My 55g mix drum is constantly moving and heated and I always use my RO/DI reserve to make my WC mix rather than just filling it with fresh RO/DI. That way my RO/DI reserve drum has a full turnover every few weeks.

As stated above. RODI water does not need flow, it will be fine. Your storage for saltwater mix is a totally different thing and does need flow

Perfect. Yes, my sw container has a pump. The rodi container gets a near full turnover each week like mentioned above I too use it to fill my salt mix. Its also drops at a time to topoff so no temp issues. Thanks all.
