Brute water storage container color, does it matter?

Try cleaning with vinegar and a scrub sponge. Even though it's months old, it might be the release agent/coating that was used during manufacture.

The other possibility is chloramine and your RO/DI isn't removing it. Do you have chlorinated water and did they recently change to chloramine?

I bought a blue one several months back and has been fine until now. I used to store RODI water for weeks at a time but recently I’ve been getting a urine smell after only 2 days of making it. I cleaned and dried the can out thoroughly and made another batch, smelled fine until the next day and it was back to the urine smell. I’m going to look for a grey one now.

Sorry, I’ve been busy and haven’t checked in on the site in a while. Did you get the grey one and did it resolve the smell or are you still having issues?
