RODI storage

[JJ Ligs]

I have a question about stored water. I store my water in a big old brute like everyone else. I clean it after I empty it before I refill but it gets this like old man dusty scent and I hate it. I know most people say they do not care as long as it is still reading clean, but is there a way to avoid the water stored from getting that smell it gets? It is not bad just reminds me of old man. I use my stored water fairly quick but by the bottom of my bin it starts to get that smell. I was thinking of tossing a bag of carbon in there to absorb anything that may cause the smell, has anyone done this?

Carbon will work as long as the water or air passes thru it.
Maybe a pump would work also.

Thanks going to try a power head. It probably won't be an issue considering my new tank will eat the Ro in that bin one change now lol

Hmm... pejorative not withstanding a pump or power head will probably work.

What else has that smell? My water always just smells like the plastic.
