RO auto shut off

[fishkeeprian]

Hello,

I need to somehow but in an auto shut of for when I'm filling my salt mixing bucket with ro because I forget about it and it overflowed a few times.

How do I go about this, a diagram would be good?

Thanks

Cheapest and simplest would be a float valve. You can get one from Amazon for a few dollars.

Float valve in the barrel, and a ASOV on the RO/DI will shut it off properly.


This kit from BRS is just what you need. Unfortunatly I see your in the UK and probably can't order from brs, but you get the idea on what you need.

Hi Have this unit;

https://www.vyair.com/pumped-4-stage-reverse-osmosis-50-gallons-per-day-185-litres-fish-aquarium-water-filter-system-with-di-resin-stage.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAs8XiBRAGEiwAFyQ-er7J9tDKcU79Us-1WPUBhK8DQuxN4-ThQ7cvPnlzo-hhPNdrM_MKVRoC4WsQAvD_BwE

And it says it already has a automatic shut off valave installed so do i need to reconfigure it?

The ASO Valve is on the unit.
What you need is a float valve inside a container.
When it fills the float rises & shuts off the unit.
Same as a toilet functions.
Here over the pond most use a plastic garbage can for water storage. (Brute brand)

Mine has a pump so when the float is activated will it shut off the pump?

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

It should.

It says it comes with auto shutoff. However if it is pressure activated, you need something to stop the output to cause a pressure buildup. They suggest;
16. You may connect the water output to a float valve if you wish. When the pure water is stopped by the float valve the drain water will also stop.
For this to happen it does need an auto shutoff valve. Usually it looks like a block with a 1/4 water tube going in and one going out. Plus a wire inbetween the power and the pump. It is very hard to tell from the picture.
