Well .... if it were me, I'd use tap water this time. If you're able, sometimes you can buy RO water from the grocery store (5g jugs) so that could be an option too maybe..

Don't put in a conditioner with aloe vera in it.

O **** I already did because their was a bunch of air bubbles coming through the inlet. Should I do a water change when I get my DI filter back. I geuss the water i put in now is temporary. Or should I top it of with what Delphinus said.

Logic:

1. You have no RO filter.
2. You have tap water.
3. Your sump level is getting low.

I know you require direction but this is just silly.

no, there is really no need to clean it as water does not sit in it thus nothing ever grows in the water, rinse with tap water when finished so salt does not crystallize causing hand not to move properly.

but to be honest i never even rinsed mine when i used them just gave it a good wack pored it out and then filled it again untill nob moved freely.
