    How long can you keep RO water that you make in a Rubbermaid garbage can with the lid on? I had made like 20 gallons and have been using it for top offs. Should it be fine to keep using over a month?

    i dont have a answer but it made me think of something pretty funny.

    cant remember what brand but i was reading the back of a bottle of water one time it was going on and on about how it was pulled from a spring that was thousands of years old. then right below had the expiration date stamped on.

    keep the lid on tight and it should hold for several weeks easy.
