Best resevoir for the Tunze ATO system and how far can you hide it?

Mel, we have a 16G cylindrical tub made out of polyethylene that might work for you at the shop...come on down and check it out if you'd like.

I use a salt pail with a gamma lid. (snaps onto a 5 gallon pail with a screw on lid top.)
However if you use it without the ring that snaps to the pail top, there's just enough room for the lid to sit flush and let the cable/tube come out.

I haven't had a system running yet, but would never run RO/DI direct.
It isn't efficient this way and can obviously dilute your system if it fails.
I am lucky that I have a room where I can store 55g if need, although I will probably never hold that much at one time.
I just bought a drum/barrel

Sorry if the add doesn't apply to your area

My plan is to have a 10g top-up for my 100g system. No direct plumbing.
trudge the water to my ATO as needed.

I used a 5 gallon bucket but found I was refilling it every 2 days. Now I use a 70 gallon tank

I used a rubbermaid 25g ish with the tunze ATO. I put in the closet near my tank, about 8' away. Drilled a small hole in the floor ran it on the basement open celing and back up through the heat duct behind the tank. Worked well and hid the res. I had the same problem, never wanted the tub sitting visible by the tank.

Well I got her going and it Just fit into the closet...
Ill probably try and put a 2 foot extention on the hose and wire for the pump but we will see...
Now I Have to find a 30 gal plus container...

Also...
Can the tunze pump run dry or does it have a built in sensor?
