RO Water Reservoir
I'm setting up an auto top off system and I need some type of storage. Does anyone know where I can get one cheap or can I use a big rubbermaid tub?

A lot of people use Brute Rubbermaid Trashcans. I myself am looking for something tall and narrow, not as large around as a trash can.... About half the size, so tagging along....

Those polypropylene tanks are awesome! Kinda pricey though, for just storing h2o

I used trash can and they were great. I now have a polyprop tank and I love it.

I also use a rubbermaid container. If you get one with wheels make sure it is not the kind that has the axil going into the container, or it won't hold water.

BINGO! Best bang for the buck.
The link Whateva gave is good as far as dimensions. But the brute isn't really that big, and works like a charm. I have 2 ($30 each) and have had them for a year. Solid....feasible....and they don't leech anything.
Great choice, IMO.
