Default RO Water Shut off saftey

Hey guys,

Just cleaning up a mini RO water leak that could have been much more.

My Ro machine is fed into 2 brute blue barrels and stopped using a float valve... you can see where this is going.... float valve failed and blue barrel slowly over filled dumping probably 5-10 gallon of water on the floor before I noticed. Never had issues before

Just wondering what everyone does to add redundancy to the system? Is there an electronic eye float valve kinda like the tunze has that can directly shut the water off that wouldn't fail like a float valve ? Is there a way to have two float switches into the RO machine

I know I can do a leak detection one with a direct water shut off but id rather stop the water in the barrel before it starts to leak

What does everyone else do?

Thanks
