Making and Storing R/O Water

I'm off to get a big ass (45ish gals) tub to store my R/O water. As
Mark suggested (Tanks Mark!) I'll make sure its marked LPDE

I want keep the water for few weeks, would an airstone (say two off an
Elite 802) better or would a powerhead (say an 802 with the air hose)
be better? Suggestions appreciated Also, thanks to all re the Berlin
and the venturi question. I took the Berlin venturi out and the Kent
is working great. Lots of foam, brown/black nasty stinky shite being
kicked out :-P

Re: Making and Storing R/O Water

Is that supposed to be LPDE or LDPE as in low density poly ethelyne?(spelling?)
if it is the latter, Im not sure that just because it is stamped LDPE that it
makes it "food grade". Meaning that some LDPE may be food safe and some may
not.

I use a power-head to pump the water out of the container and back into the
container, literally turning a 60 gallons storage tank over a couple hundred
times per hour.
