mixing & storing water

[kosey929]

How do you mix and store your water? I have been buying RO water from Wal-Mart and just mixing and storing it right in the jugs. The only problem I have with that is the water temperature is too low. In the summer it's not a problem because I can set the jugs out in the sun to warm, but here in N. Wisconsin I can only do that for another month or so. I was thinking of setting up a five gallon tank with heater for the purpose, but thought maybe you all might suggest something better.

Thanks,
Karen

5 gallon bucket with powerhead and heater works wonders

I use a 5G bucket with a PH to keep it circulating overnight. I used to use a heater (and still should) but it broke and I'm too lazy to buy another. So I just dump in colder water but everthing does fine. I would still recommend using a heater to keep the change as stress free as possible.

I do about 15 gallons at a time, so instead of getting a heater for every 5g container, I fillup the bath tub with hot water, put a thermometer in one of the buckets, and wait until they get to about 80*. Then I do my water change.
