Automatic Top Off

[Peter Pan]

I have a 75 gal tank that I fill with an RODI. With normal evaperation, I
had water to it roughly every 6 days or so. Is there something I can use to
refill the tank automatically, similar to how ur toilet works?

Thanks

Marc, I like your idea for controlling a power head and your bracket is (as
always) very ingenious. Is there a float water valve that can be used for
controlling a fresh water inlet directly from the water system in my home?

Yes, you could put a float valve in your holding container,
but I would *strongly suggest* you turn the water off before
the container once it is filled. That way you only can dump
in the container's worth of water if something goes wrong.

Once a week you could enable the RO/DI unit to refill the
container again. One guy used a garden hose timer from Home
Depot to turn his one for a specific amount of time every
so many days.

it's safer to make an additional overflow from container to canalization
