When I use to have fresh water tank, I would get my water from a well here in Delta. I got a sample in a glass jar and tested it for Ph, nitate, phosphate ect... No traces, I bought a couple of water containers from Canadian tire to store and transport the water. Shortly after I was using it I got a algae uotbreak. Talked to the LFS and they said phosphate, Took anouther glass sample nothing, but the tank off off the scale. Under the advice of the LFS I tested the water from the container at 1 day intervals. Low and behold, after 2 days the phosphate shot of f the scale. The container did it. Another LFS said that blue filter media would leak phospahte as well. Just so test the water before and after it has sat in the rubbermaid and see what happens.
