    I was wondering, what do you guys use to store spare RODI water, and what you use for an ATO reserve? I found a Tsunami AT-1 laying around, but I haven't figured out what to use as a reservoir yet. I also notice my distilled water jugs are junk, and fall apart after being gravity-emptied a couple times.

    I've heard people use camping jugs, but where do you buy those?

    To store my RO/DI water I use plastic water jugs or my 30 gallon trash can with lid. For my ATO reservoir, I use an empty salt bucket.

    I use 5 gallon buckets to hold my ATO water and spare RO/DI water.

    For now a 5 gallon gravity fed which works very well...
    I have almost all the parts for an ato with inline kalk stirrer. It will have a 15g container fed by a small pump

    I use a 3 gallon garbage can I purchased at Walmart, for about $2, for my ATO reservoir. It was the only thing I found that would fit inside my stand, along with the sump/fuge, and still allowed me to get it out in case I needed to.
