Does Polypropylene Leach Silicon?

[JoshO]

Has anyone used polypropylene containers as ATO reservoirs?
I've got a crazy high reading on my ICP for silicon and I'm try to establish if it's my source RO water (lfs) or my ATO container.
Has anyone had issue with this?

That's discouraging. In that case, what plastic containers do people use for ATOs??

That article did not mention silicon. While not familiar with the chemicals mentioned they sound like organic molecules, not silicon. Regardless, I bought a RV drinking water tank and cut a square out of the top for my ATO. Nice rectangular design and they come in different sizes. Found on ebay or amazon.

I'm only running a 50l nano so that would be slightly overkill!!
