You have all the gagets Keith! You know how many times I have ran over my RO system?? Too many times!! I like the way yours works. You showed me a pressure guage on yours.....did you just buy that separate and install?

Unfotunatly I am in a small condo so I have a water jug under the sink which I use for my top offs... I don't really want to invest in a more permanent water container because I only plan on living here for another year or so.

When I am in a house I think a setup much like yours would be sweet

Been a long while since I lurked onto here!

Just last night I built a new setup for turning off my RO/DI

I used an irrigation valve (12v), a standard electric float switch, 12v/15a relay, 12v wall wart, and a 'hang on tank' pump mount that came with a rio pump at some point in time. Only trouble was buying the proper sized bushing to reduce the 3/4" irrigation valve down to 1/4" fittings.

If you want some pics of my setup to better understand, just ask

You could install that float valve into a 5 gal bucket and run it overnight. After checking it run once during daylight when you were there.lol

You could install the float valve in your bucket and use a John Guest valve and fittings so you can just unplug it, pour your water out then plug it back in.
