Has anyone ever tried to feed their rodi from a bucket/container?

Just fill a bucket with tap water, attach 1/4” rigid tubing to a sicce submersible pump( with adapters), and then feed water into the rodi.

Would this work? What do you think the psi would be?

You would need a pressure pump to pump through the membrane.
Why would you want to do this anyways?
Trying to degas c02?
Since it only ruins the resins, you can make RO water normally into a container and then repump it through the DI resins.

Easy job. I use an MJ1200 with a 1/2" to 1/4" push connect adapter.
