The next day be sure to thoroughly squeeze and drain all the water out of the roller before using. You cannot leave the roller in the water longer than a day or it will fall apart, and you cannot leave the roller overnight in water again until it has completely dried out.

I've yet to see the roller tray that's deep enough to completely cover the roller. I'd go with the plastic bag instead.

I always put my paint brushes and rollers in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer til the next day. Works great.
I don't think soaking the roller in water is a good idea.

If I am using the same color the next day, I wrap the rollor in a plastic bag to keep it wet. Works great.

I put the roller still attached to the handle in a grocery sack and wind the top around the handle. It stays great like this for a day or two. Also, I put a paint brush in a plastic baggie and it's perfect to paint with even after several days.

I line the roller tray with foil before pouring in paint. When done painting for the day I dump what paint I can from the tray back to the can, then roll the roller up tightly in the foil. I also wrap the paintbrush in foil. It doesn't need to go in the freezer. I used to paint professionally and this is the easiest and most efficient way to save on clean-up time!

I haven't tried this, but I've heard about putting the uncleaned paintbrush into a plastic bag and putting it in the freezer. Might work for a roller, too. I imagine they need to thaw an hour or so before using.
