RO water filtered question?

I bought an RO filter from http://www.purewaterclub.com/ for both drinking and aquarium. When I collected the water in an old plastic 5 gallon bottle like this http://www.greif.com/images/secondary-products/water-bottles/H2O_Bottle_fivegal_nohandle.jpg
I never used this bottle for the long time and when it filled it up with RO water, I touched the water inside the bottle and there was static electricity. Is it the RO water that conducts static electricity or was it the old 5 gallon bottle the issue? Is it safe to use the water?

Freshwater Aquarium – Reverse Osmosis System?

I am setting up a new 55 gallon freshwater aquarium. I live in an area where the supply water has a high degree of hardness. Is it worthwhile for me to invest in a RO water purifier for my aquarium needs? What are some of the things I need to keep in mind in selecting one? What are some good brands?
The aquarium that I am setting up now is for goldfish, but I will be setting up another one for tropical fish soon. So I will be sharing the RO system between the two.
