Best way to keep plain water rez fresh?

[Fraggle Rock]

What is the best way to keep a 30 gallon rez fresh for at least a week? I'm only using plain water in this and transferring that into smaller containers with my nutes when I need to apply, everything I am using is straight OMRI Organic!!!! Earth Juice, etc...Thanks.

keep air running through it.

An airstone or a water pump to get a waterfall effect...keep the water as cool as possible to around the 19-20*C mark and it will hold the Dissolved Oxygen better than if it were warmer...

Right on thanks!! I've heard around 68 is a good temperature for DO...

keep air running through it.

Yup, I'm on that!! So I guess I should be good...Thanks!!!

Based on the above conditions, what would be the longest you would let the plain filtered water bubble/aerate? Thanks again everyone!!

Should you be able to incorporate it..... a bio-filter fishtank filter works wonders on plain water.

Hi Fraggle,
The other important consideration is to minimize light exposure. I have a 55 gallon RO storage tank and don't bubble it and it stays fresh. Same with my stored drinking water.

aerate and cover that beast

Thanks for the reply everyone. I keep it covered, light proof and airstones runnin.

i use a mag drive to keep it circulating. peace, d

a mag drive with a venturi is a good way to keep it moving and aerated

Waterfall. It's how I do it. No need for injecting air if you're agitating the hell out of the surface. Pick a pump that'll cycle the whole tank through the fall a few times a minute.
