RO/DI Storage Heater?

Howdy all! Happy Friday!

Quick question:

Should I have a heater in my RO/DI water storage? It's in my garage and remains about 55 Fahrenheit. If I was to put a heater in there it would be user heater and or a super cheap one nothing crazy.

Or should I only begin to heat it when I am doing water changes?

Are you doing giant water changes? Once mixed fully, I don’t touch it. No heat, no power heads, nothing. I have a friend who does both, and has a precipitation issue. I have a tiny bit, but it’s accrued over a year and a half. I don’t think I’ll have to clean this thing for a few more years.

In a 30 gallon tank I would heat the 5 gallons to tank temperature before I did the water change but just to store it I wouldnt heat it.

If you ever move to automated water changes, say with an apex dos, you can skip the heating altogether since it’s small amounts spread throughout the day.
