I bit the bullet and got two tanks but how are you Cleaning them out before use? Mine appear to have been stored outside. Are you leak testing them someway?
 
If they are new, like mine were, they were looking dusty and dirty on the outside, and the inside had bits of plastic "dust" coating some of the tank walls. So washed the outside with house water and then rinsed the inside too. Filled the tanks with house water to test. Once the tanks were setup allowed them to fill twice with the new RODI and dumped the water. Good to go. ;)

Ok cool. They are new. They look exactly how yours looked.
 
Depending on the salt you use, the mixing tank will need cleaning occasionally. Vinegar or citric acid works pretty good to keep them looking clean.
