I don't see your auto shutoff. It must be hidden behind the canisters?
You have done a fine plumbing job.
Thanks for the kind comment.
And thanks for taking the time to look at my build to note the plumbing
It's frankly a rats nest, but I did the best considering the space constraints
The check valve is behind/between the pre-filters, as well as the raw water TDS probe, and the auto shutoff is behind the RO canister. I don't get credit for the auto shutoff location as that is where Vertex placed it, and hard as I tried, I just could not locate it any better
Concerning the shutoff;
I'm a bit dissapointed. I installed the check valve and a float. I was expecting it to totally shutoff the water. It only cuts the new/clean water flow. So unless I plumbed it wrong, I guess I won't be leaving it running 24/7. Not that I plan on it, but it would have been nice to leave it fill itself after use and not worry about wasting any more water than necessary.
