I have the bigger version (R-300) of that sump with the float valve. You just need 1/4" water tubing like is used on the RO/DI units. I also bought the Eshopps ATO tank which has a valve with the same 1/4" hookup. I have the ATO tank above the tank and then ran the tubing from it down to the float valve in the sump. It's a pretty easy/simple setup and has worked good for me.

I use the tunze ATO. It comes with both a float and sensor for a fail safe. It has never let me down in over two years. One of my best purchases.
Sorry I failed reading comprehension ignore my post.

I am a big advocate for DIY and initially started by wiring float switches into a pump and even made an acrylic bracket for the tank. Everything worked great... until I put it in water. Went through this twice with different batches of switches/wiring and each time the pump failed "on" nearly flooding my sump and messing with my salinity.
This is one place that I splurged for what I believe to be the best on the market and purchased the tunze osmolator. I know people have success with DIY versions all the time, but this was one part I wasn't willing to compromise on.
