Default Salt water supply
What does everybody keep as a resevoir for their premixed salt. Right now I am using aquariums, but I am wondering if there is something better out there.

Thanks

I use a garbage can with wheels so I can roll it right up to the tank.

Just a big Rubber maid 25G trashcan, less then $20.00 at Canadian Tire.
Build a little trolly for it to sit on.

I use a Lee Valley 50g rain barrel with stand and a tap at the bottom but I can't find it on their site now. I added a float valve for the RO/DI.
