Flooded basement again....

[intyme]

Yup, good thing I have a shop vac, went to dinner and forgot to turn off the water supply to my Rodi......oops! :headwalls:

Oops

 

[gone fishin]

DOH!!! Hopefully no damage just mop up.

 

[whiteshark]

We've all been there more than once.

 

[m0nkie]

That's no chit!! I'm quite happy my garage is sloped and bare concrete. Haha

one overflow=float valve

I have done that once too many as well.

 

[Flippers4pups]

Float value. Cheep fix.

 

[supervdl]

yeah time to get that float switch installed.

 

[Spiffy]

I keep doing the same thing... Except I'm on the fourth floor. The neighbors are still complaining about the water. But yeah, a float switch will help, now if I could only take my own advice...

this thing has made the floods go away in my house. Got it at HD for like $15

Neat idea but I know for me with my 45g container that thing would turn off long before my container is full. A float valve in the container and an auto-shut off set up on the RODI unit lets my RODI unit run as long as needed and then shuts off when my container is full.

This auto-shutoff is well worth the $25. It literally takes only a few minutes to hook up and it is always nice to have a full RODI container when you need it for unplanned water changes, etc.

Float valve is so incredibly simple and cheap. Takes probably 2 minutes to install.

As others have indicated, the fix is simple. Get yourself one of these and you issue will be solved.

There is absolutely no reason to not include this or a solenoid setup from the git go but you live and you learn.

I use both a float valve and an emergency overflow that dumps to the slop sink for when(not if) the float valve fails. Not a single flood since!

Best $35 ever spent on my reef, well it went up in price since I purchased it but still highly recommended: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/leak-controller-detector-for-ro-di-systems-1.html

I have an Apex with two switches, however when I manually put the make RO/DI on and in the efforts of multitasking, sometimes I forget to put it in auto so the switches will shut off the solenoid. This BRS shuts to water off before the RO/DI and beeps really loud. Saved my but a few times.... Wifey really doesn't like floods so I have this triple protected.

LOL same here... I need to finish getting everything hooked back up to my large storage tanks rather than 5 gallon buckets...
