    You can build your own for short money. Flow switch and a pump. I do have my build in details, but never posted it yet.

    Bought a set up from Fishy Business. Works great.

    Lots of different options. I went with the Tunze Osmolator due to the optical eye with float switch backup. Definitely more expensive but is very reliable.

    Whatever you choose, just watch it for salt creep/build up on the float switch. Don't want to flood the house.
