My initial thoughts -
I was under the impression that running an ATO directly from your RODI shortened your membrane due to the short cycling. Perhaps I've been misinformed. The solenoid combined with the 20 sec shutoff should help prevent the nightmare scenario of an RODI run ATO overflowing & lowering your salinity. As to the pump version, it seems to only have 1 sensor although the article implied it also had a high water shut off. Is there a second sensor I missed in the video? Again the 20 sec system shut down is good, but I like having a second sensor as backup. So, seems ok. At $150 it's a great price if it has 2 sensors. If it has only 1 its more than the Tunze Nano osmolator (although does have an optical as opposed to a float sensor). Just my 2 cents.

Just simply to answer the questions.
The unit has one sensor but has a fail safe shut off. If the unit sees that the level has not reached on a 20x cycle it will shut down. This I believe keeps the cost down for two sensors |

Pros:
No level switches that will fail in short order Alarm concept Cons: Mounting arm for sensor doesn't look like it would work in my sump I think the sensor is normally submersed in the water, so salt creep and eventual failure. Alarm can not be configured Pump doesn't look like it would work for me as my fresh water tank is far from my sump Instead of solenoid option, I would personally like to see a dry contact rated for 1A @ 120 VAC Just my 2 cents |
