I have been using and storing rainwater (0ne 250-gal, one 150-gal, and
two 50-gal containers. I have never had any problems with anything
growing in the water in the opaque containers, and indeed, only a very

Don't put anything in the water; just make sure the container is clean

It's currently soaking in a very strong solution of bleach, and I plan on
scrubbing it on Saturday.
