FS Tunze Osmolator and solenoid valve
 
I have a used Osmolator for sale. I sent it away for service last month as the optical sensor had stopped sensing the water level. Roger at Tunze replaced the sensor and the unit works perfectly again. I will include a 1/4" solenoid valve that hooks up directly to the Osmolator instead of the pump. You can run RO tubing from your RO source directly to the solenoid. I do not have the pump anymore. Also this is the newer model with the magnetic mount. Asking $120.00 shipped within Canada.

Since it's sold, I don't mind pointing out that using the solenoid hooked directly to an RO/DI unit is a great way to destroy your RO membrane and will cost a fortune in DI resin. RO membranes are not meant to be used in this way.

For the buyer, it would be a much better idea to fill an RO resevoir that feeds into the tank via gravity. The solenoid would control the flow from the resevoir to the tank, but the RO unit would not be part of the constant on/off. Perhaps that's what your planning.

For optimal performance, an RO unit should always be allowed to run long enough for the TDS to reach the lowest value that the membrane is capable of producing. Ideally, the membrane should be flushed at the start of every duty cycle.

A good deal on parts though. No worries there.

Thanks for the insight, but I had no intention for using the valve for that purpose. I may find another use for it, but I will have it set up as I had the last one setup, same as you have mentioned above.
