Socal fire question

[boacvh]

Sorry. Didn't know where to post this.
Have a quick question regarding my rodi water. Today we have pretty bad air quality here in socal because of the silverado fire. My patio is full of smoke and some ash. My water station sits in the patio. It is entirely covered, but my question is should I discard that water given the air quality or is it not an issue since it's covered?

Thanks.

Is your set up air tight?

Is your set up air tight?

Not sure completely airtight. It's a brute can with a lid. And sits inside an outdoor patio cabinet.
So, ash will not get into the water with certainty, but the smoke could

I wouldn't chance it. We're in Long Beach and it's really bad here. Not sure where you are, but I probably wouldn't use anything that has been outside in this stuff. Good luck and stay safe!

If you have smoke and ash, you most likely have some amount of chemical contaminants floating around in the air. Houses, cars, etc burning are putting out some serious toxins. I would toss the water and start fresh.

Prayers are with all of you in Cal & Colo. Between fires and power co's cutting your power, daily routines have to be tough.

Great to know, thanks everyone!. I am in Newport Beach so a lot of smoke today.
I will discard that water then, thanks so much!
