John do yourself a favor and get kevin to bring in a timer switch for your rodi unit too. I had 2 incidents involving overflowing rodi water in my laundry room until I got one. No problems since

I use one of these in my RO/DI reservoir in the basement.

Does a good job of cutting the water. Although, I wouldn't rely on it 100% of the time. If you know you don't need to make RO/DI for a period of time, it is best to completely shut off the supply water to the RO/DI. This will prolong the life of the filters.

+1. Use the float valve shutoff as a flood preventer when filling a reservoir, but don't use a float valve shutoff kit to regulate the RO/DI full-time. That's a lesson I needed 3 RO membranes to learn.

well, i am on the ro water as of tonight, i just made up a batch of water.

its not done yet, as you can see.

Big thanks to Kevin at Red Coral for the RODI unit, I was on a break from work and he got everything together for me, even though he was busy, he replaced the filters on it, so all i had to do when i got home was hook it up to the tap. Customer service is really top notch.

I tested the tap water again, and it was 170. The water from the RO unit was 000

Sweet.
