My idea is to use a whole saw on the lid to feed a pvc pipe connected to a submersable pump so I can attach a watering hose. I'm also installing a float that's connected to my hydrologic RO filter system to keep it topped off. I know I need the pressure to be released. It's a 14 gallon res. What should I use for a vent?? Ty in advance. This res is for my 3 bucket rdwc diy build. It takes 2 hours to fill my system back up so I want to have it ready to do. I'm also adding an air stone.

That corny keg fitting is going to reduce the flow of that pump to like 25% of its capacity. I used a water cooler spout mounted into the lid. Push the button when it starts sucking the barrel.
Very nice!
In picture #4, what is the piping next to your exhaust? Intake?
3 suggestions:
If you have air stones and a pump, chances are it came with a check valve. Use one of those to vent pressure out of the reservoir, attached to some tubing
You can also use filter paper (anywhere from 2-40um hole size) applied over a PVC fitting.
The pvc fitting over a pvc pipe snugly secures the filter paper. The filter paper allows air to pass, but does not allow dust debris or insects accross.
You can loosen the lid, allowing pressure to ‘burp’ out when its high enough to raise the lid ever so slightly
