Default Water Topoff

Hey Guy's

I just made a topoff last week. All I did was run to the hydroponic store and pick up a water float valve for $12 and a small bulkhead with a nipple on the end for $2.

Drilled a hole in the botton side of an old salt bucket, installed the bulkhead. Mounted the float valve in my sump, ran a small airline between the two and wella.

It's working great and all I need to do is fill the 5 gallon some RO water and I'm set for about a week with my current rate of evaporation.
I'm toying with the idea of puting a mini jet in the bucket and a bit of Kalk to keep up my levels. I'm just not sure if the float valve will clog up.

The whole thing is simple and it works well.
