I emptied out my 20 brute the other day and decided to look inside of it and it was slimy at the bottom it’s only rodi water in it what causes that? Should I be concerned?

I had the same thing when it was new. It was residue from salt mix. I bleached container and rinsed.
Now it doesnt do it for some reason.

When I purchase brute containers I rinse them out with vinegar. Actually, I just fill a spray bottle with vinegar, spray the inside, then wipe it down. And then I wipe them out with alcohol to get any oils/residue that might be left from the manufacturing process. Try doing this and see if it fixes your problem.
