It seems the sun was too much for my 1000L tank this summer, it was full of algae and smelled like a fish tank this week, I used it all week till thursday and tested it and my TDS was 30... I had to dump the whole lot and clean the tank and fill it up.

I also had to finish the week and dump the rest out of my van and fill up with good water. its now all done.

hope I dont get any complaints....

 
A clear IBC is no good for outside storage, I bought a black one for this very reason. You could have dosed bleach into it at 500:1 and left it for the weekend, you could have then pushed it back through the RO system.

 
Yes but your water isn't pure if there's algae in there, it wouldn't work in pure either as you're adding an impurity so it will cause spotting.

 
How ofter do you check the ppm going into the holding tank and the water whilst being pumped into the van tank?
