    I was going to plumb my RO/DI to a DIY float valve something like you have here.

    I was going to put a valve in the line though, so as not to eventuallu flood my tank in case it sticks. But that would mean shutting it on and off everyday, several times, which it would then probably be easier to add about 2g of RO/DI to my 125DT like I do now every day.

    Is that a ATS?

    No problems as of yet. Not even salt creep. Just fill up the reserve bucket every 4-5 days.
