What do you use for RO water storage

Getting a 75GPD system with a 3.5 gallon tank.

I can obviously use my tun and or pots but It would be nice to have a bunch of RO water around waiting for a double brew day, ect.

I just store water in my HLT, but it is limited to 14.5 gallons. I was considering just getting a bigger HLT to use for water storage (and to have more water ready if I went to bigger batches), but I rarely need more than 14.5 gallons for a brewday. I make 10 gallon batches.

1 gallon milk/water jugs.
my RO system is smaller and can only pump out about 1 gallon at a time, so I just fill up lots of those and have them ready for a brew day. I only do 5 gallon batches tho

I picked up a couple of the 7 gallon Reliance Aqua-Tainers. The cheapest source I found was Blain's Farm & Fleet: http://www.farmandfleet.com/

LOL..I forgot that I have a 6.5 gallon jug like this for camping.

A pressure tank would be ideal because it shuts off on its own. You can rig more than 1 tank to a system (in different locations) or just get a bigger tank.

I currently have a 30 gallon drum, but if my roommate would just ask at work, we should be getting a 50. However, we have 3 breweries in my house and often run the 30 gallons dry. We rigged a float switch to an electric valve that automatically starts the water as soon as we start pumping it.

For those storing in a plastic bin, how do you transfer to your HLT? I'm struggling to find a way to prime my pump on brew day. I worry about putting a ball valve and QD on my Rubbermaid Brute. Thanks.
