Hello, my first proper post!

I have been using RO water for the last 6 months or so which I purchase from my local fish place.

One of the containers I use has been left outside (sealed, by its top) for around 7 days. This water is currently pure RO.

Am I safe in using this water as its not "fresh"?

its for a usual 10% water change.


Thanks.

Did it dry out ? If it did, Its useless...... :cry:

Your supposed to leave them hydrated when not in use.

Water will be fine to use. It will last indefinitely if sealed well and kept in the shade.

Lol, nice one!


Thanks for the advice; I was worried due to the warm temps and cold nights we have had during the last few days which may have resulted in bacteria developing. I assume this would be negligible as the water has been filtered and kept sealed?
