    Okay so admittedly I'm a total noob, and am probably worrying too much about this but I want to make sure I don't do anything stupid!

    So I have a container I use to keep the RO water I buy from my LFS in. My most recent trip to get the water was about a week and a half ago, and I have stupidly left in the back of my truck in the summer!

    My question is, could the water culture any bad bacteria or anything with the heat, or is there nothing in RO water to culture?

    Thanks!

    I think as long as you have an airtight cap on the container you may be alright. Not positive maybe someone can back that up?

    I agree.As long as you have it sealed and nothing can get into it.It should last a long time.
