Default Auto top off systems

Im getting sick and tired of having to drag 5 gallon pails of water through my basement and spilling all over the hardwood so i think its finally time for an automated system.

The thing is there are about 1000 different options available to me.

These are some of the things I have to think about.
1. Acurate and no chance of snails crabs saltcreep ect clogging it.
2. Something I can run with a Kalk reactor.
3. My R/O resivoir will be in the furnace room behind the tank. It will be elevated and about 5 feet away from the tank.


As of now I think I will be making a DIY kalk reactor with the numerous plans available online.

Is the tunze kalk addon for the osmolator a reactor? or just a storage container for premixed kalk?

Will the pumps supplied with the osmolator or ATO unit be strong enough to pump this far?

Will the cheap Aqualifter vacum pumps be strong enough? I could run this with a Tsunami ATI or somethign....

Anyones thoughts ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks Scott.
