I spent about an hour on the google and RC looking for the answer. I understand you want to store RO water for better water quality and longer membrane life. So one must store it in a reservior. That means a float (plus whatever safetys) in your sump and floats (and safetys) in your reservior. To keep your RO unit running long you need to wait until the water gets low in your reservior to turn that on. Then shut off your RO unit when the reservior fills.
How is that done?
If I have a float valve at the bottom my water level will stay on the bottom. If I have it at the top it will turn on and off everytime my controller and switches add water to the sump? turning on and off frequently as if I put the RO direct into the sump. It is a float at the top with a solenoid (with another switch and timer)?
any diagrams would be great since I am dumb
