So I store my autotop off ro/di water and salt water in brute containers outside my house and pump the ro/di water in with a tunze autotop off. My concern is that it is in direct sunlight till early afternoon. I do not have space to put it in my house. I live in California and right now its over 100 degrees during the day. Do you think the heat and sunlight can affect the ro/di/salt water in the brute trash cans by leaving it outside? I've tested the heat in the containers and gets to about 100 degrees at certain times. I've been doing this for about 1 year with no real ill effects. Anyone else doing this or have problems with plastic leaching, water quality, or any other problems? Thanks
 
Hot plastic is going to be more likely to leach, but if you have been doing it for a year with out issues I doubt you will have any.
 
I guess it should be fine. Thanks
