Yes it does wipe away, easily. Like a po4 test? tds? Other then those I've tested for everything else and all's well.

yep po4 and tds just to see what you read, take a reading while it is coming out of the RO unit (if you can) then while it is in the bucket. po4 just test in the bucket.Originally Posted by MizTanks
also, if you mix salt in the same buckets you use to store RO water and don't rinse the buckets out with RO water after you had saltwater in the bucket it could just be some trace elements left from the salt that are stuck to the walls of the bucket, it is just weird though that orangeish color, it is like an iron oxide or something it seems like.
See if you can get some in a small container, then add some vinegar. If it dissolves, then it's probably some minerals (carbonates, iron, etc.).
If it doesn't dissolve in the acid, get another sample and this time add some dilute beach. If it goes away in bleach, then it is probably bacteria.

Does this mean that the RO filter needs changed? I'm waiting for new ones to arrive any day now. Do I dare use this water?
Had you used the bucket or power-head to mix salt previously? I often see a similar appearing residue on the bucket and power-head after mixing saltwater (RC) - even when using zero TDS water. I've read that many encounter the same.
