I'm looking to hide either 2.5 gallon nalgene bottles or a 5 gallon bucket in a room that needs to be hidden or at least look presentable without drawing attention to it. A bucket or container alone is not an option. Can anyone provide ideas or pictures of what they've done?

Thanks

I've seen a few pictures over the years inside decorative baskets or an ottoman.
 
Mine is under my workbench in the garage a little over 35ft from the tank. I use a dosing pump for an ATO pump. and the tubing is ran through the attic and down the wall at the tank to a wall plate. It goes from there to the tank. I actually have 5 1/4" tubes ran through conduit in the attic and wall to that wall plate.
 
Get yourself a square or rectangle RV freshwater holding tank like this. Camping world, Amazon, etc. A thousand different dimensions and sizes. All food grade plastic:

Amazon product ASIN B07659973Z
Plug the holes--using teflon tape--and hide it high up in a closet shelf. Then run RO tubing through a wall or floor and down to the sump. You can paint it with any color paint, just be sure to tape off a vertical "sighting strip" along the side so you can see what the water level is. Fill it however you want--with a gravity pump using a brute can, auto fill from your RODI system, etc. Could also put it in a little IKEA cabinet and stick a little house plant on top.
