So I have a 150 gallon ro vat and have been using a maxi jet to circulate the water, quection is could I get away w useing a air pump instead?

Not with that volume of water

If you have a strong enough air pump, I bet you could.
I'll bet my Super Luft air pump could do it.

Why are you mixing your RO? Can't it just be mixed a bit before you pull some out to make saltwater? I thought saltwater was the only one that needed to be constantly stirred.

You don't want water sitting. RO, saltwater, tap it doesn't matter stagnant water isn't good especially large volume of water.

I like to make enough do I don't have to worry for a few week! Is you let water sit for a bit it will start to stink!

as long as the air stones are at the bottom, I think it will be fine. Just make it a big pump. It may even be better if the reservoir is covered.

I agree, I think it depends on the size but you could probably get away with it.
