right one bottle down and stupid question time:

always leave my water for 24hrs+ for the chlorine to evap etc, but is there too long to leave it i.e. do you want to use it within 5 days, etc? obviously 6 months is too long

Having a slight condensation issue on window, only minor but even so, will the inline + carbon filter I'm about to get help to sort it? (venting to another room)
Venting to another room will sort out the condensation, as for the water i dont think it matters how long you leave it, of course you dont want it going stagnant lol

cushty mushty, just wondered with the filter seen some posts about above 50% being bad for them. I leave the water for 5 days sometimes, but try to reoxygenate as much as I can i.e. take jug and pour from height back into bucket a fair few times lol!

Filters stop working when the humidity gets above 75/80% too much moisture in the air. of course the better quality filter you have this can vary but even the best ones stop working at 90%. 5 days isnt a problem m8 for your water, your a soil guy arent ya?

Thats cool, if you were a hydro guy like myself then i would have said get an air stone in there but with soil dont think it matters. Knew an old boy years ago that collected rain water in one of those big green water butt things and his water sat in there alot longer than 5 days.
