Here is an email I got from Aquahub.
"Hi There,
Was reading your comments on a thread at the end of Jan. You actually quoted my
website - aquahub.com.
Couple things - you mention putting together a talk on electrical safety with
aquariums. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know.
Also, appreciate you referencing our piece on spiking voltage and using relays
with float switches. Do you have any comments or suggestions on that content?
Any comments or suggestions in general about the information on our site?
Thanks very much,
Patrick, Aquahub.com"

I agree 100% with using a relay and concerns about spiking voltage.
Here's an example of a bad way to make an auto topoff system:

I will post more information tonight.
My ATO is 100% 12V DC. My RODI system has a back pressure shut off. I have a 12V solenoid in the garage near the RODI unit, and 1/4 tubing running through the attic into the room that the tank will be in. I have 2 float valves in my sump to to control the feed to the solenoid. One float is a min depth on and the other is a max depth off.

Turns out he's got close to a thousand of these (per PM) and it looks like he's got commitments for 50 or so at this point. I'm going to hold my order at least until the weekend to allow time for MARS to digest.
