RO water??

[saltfisher]

By mistake I left my unit running and made about 55 gallons of water when I only needed about 10. I do not want to waster this water. Can I just put a pump in it to keep it moving and leave it covered? How long could i possibly leave it?
Any input would be great.
Thanks!

It should be fine.....look how long water stays in bottles....LOL

That's good thinking, but that water is sealed. My water runs into a 55g trash can that has a lid. I put a big pump in it and closed the top. I could do a big water change, but I recently added a powder blue and since they are so sensitive I don't want to risk it.

It will be fine do you use it for top off or water change? just keep it from going stagnant

It'll be fine. I use a 75 gallon storage tank for my water. I take out what I need for top offs and changes and let my RO/DI unit fill it back up. I don't use a powerhead or agitate it in anyway. It's RO/DI water. There are no nutrients in it. It won't go stagnant. Just keep the lid on it and it will be fine.
