Best way to keep plain water rez fresh? - Organic Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

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...

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.
