Storing Reverse Osmosis Water Safely: Container Options for Carnivorous Plant Growers

A grower with a Hydrologic StealthRO200 system storing 5–8 gallons in used 1-gallon jugs asked for safe, non-leaching container recommendations (size/material) for two households using ~4 gallons/week.

Jeff Dallas suggested:

• Rubbermaid dispenser jugs (push-button spout)—camps/sports teams use them.
• 5-gallon camping jugs with dispenser valves (e.g., Coleman).
• 5-gallon glass carboys (beer-making style) if avoiding plastic.

Many options exist—choose what fits workflow.
