RO water and mixing salt

[dsboyd]

Hi all!
I just installed a separate water line in my basement dedicated to my RO and salt water mixing area.
I plan to get two containers. 1 for RO & another with a heater and power head to store saltwater.
What type of cantainer do you use?
I heard that color plastic is not good.
Thanks!

Although I have a couple 45gallon rubbermade tubs,I generally use 5 gallon buckets. But any large plastic container will work fine.Color makes no difference.As a matter of fact,a dark color will not allow light to enter the container thus preventing unwanted algae growth.

I use a 30 gallon rubbermaid tub that I bought from Target.

32 gal blue rubbermaid trash can. Got a nice, tight lid, so I keep it outside with all my fish stuff in it(bucket,nets,extra equipmet,etc).
