Well, I have just seen more of the temp hookup style RO units in this hobby than the permanent, drinking water kind.

I still use on one of my sump's the first float valve I ever bought for a tank more than ten years ago. It's been in continuous use as an ATO in the last ten years without a single failure. Best $8 I ever spent in the hobby. I bet most $200 switch and pump style ATO's cannot claim that kind of uptime yet. Sometimes simplicity is just fine.

But again, I'm not really understanding the RO Auto shut-off?

Once the little R/O pressure tank fills doesn't the unit always shut off?

Ohh you have a RO unit with the pressure tank, then you should allready have a shut off valve. basic RO/DI units like most reefers have do not have the shutoff incorporated as they do not have a pressure tank.

This is what I am refering to
