    Default RO/DI Float VALVE

    Anyone know where I can get a float switch for my RO/DI unit?

    Thanks!

    There's a million of them out there; good, bad, etc. Eventually, pretty much all of them will have some sort of problem eventually. I'm going to try the "liquid level controller" from purely H20, which is three stainless steel sensors that work on conductivity to turn on/off a solenoid which runs the R.O. filter. Are you trying to do auto top-off for your tank or just keep a tub filled with water?

    Donnie from marsh gave me this link... looks nice, and I think a guy in MARSh makes them... not sure.

    This is for a storage tank (30 gallons). I'd like a couple of cheap ones to run in series (that way if one gets stuck open, the other stops it). Just a cheap solution kind of like a toilet float.

    OK, I'm a moron. I need a float VALVE, not a switch. Found some Coralife units on fleabay.

    Thanks!

    If you are looking for it as just a shut off for your existing RO/DI unit feeding to a container then maybe this will work for you.

    I have one of these styles in my sump that keeps my water constant and has not failed and hopefully never will since it's purely mechanical and no electronics to get screweed up.
