I dont hear you knocking on wood for me... HAH. The best part is just shortly after I typed that msg out my bucket of RO/DI water I was filling overflowed. Just a couple of drops.

So in answer to the topic... just once

we attached a "outdoor sprinkler timer" to the tap when making r/o water. it works really well and was very cheap!

Does overflowing buckets siphoning out of the tank count?

I've been right there siphoning out water and trying to get a little bit more guck out of the tank and next thing you know water is overflowing the bucket a few times. I also used to forget to shut off the ro water making and overflowed buckets a few times before realizing that I could put the bucket in the mudroom sink, so now when it overflows the water just goes down the drain (thank god for that, as a few times I left the water on overnight).

Ya, put the rig together starts going and Ill leave for some stupid reason. Filling slowly enough right? Come back into the room just as the waters cresting the bucket. Had that happen twice. Also Ive zoned out while siphoning and had the crap-you-dont-want-in-your-sandbed flow onto the floor...
