I currently use a AP tapwater filter to create my topoff water. I was
running some water through it this morning into my auto-topoff resevoir and
wouldn't you know I walked away and forgot about it. I've often worried
that I'd do this and it's amazing I hadn't done it sooner. I had a good
bit of water on the floor of my basement to clean up. Could have been a
lot worse had I not caught it sooner. Trying to think of a way to put a
float switch in my topoff resevoir to keep this from happening again. Is
there any way to hook up a float switch to some sort of valve that
controlled opening the faucet/input to the tapwater filter? Do ro/di
systems support any sort of hookup like that more easily ? Planning on
buying a ro/di system soon anyway. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
