Why not connect it directly to your large rodi container where you store rodi for mixing new water?
My first 2 years into the hobby i used to have a separate top off container and it was extra work. You would need to fill it up every week if not more on a large setup.
After that i just hook the top off pump to the large 50g brute where i store rodi water and never look back again. Never need to worry about top off container being dried.

It is convenient. The only reason I chose not to do that was in the event of a float sensor failure the whole container would over flow the sump and dilute the entire system. So I use an ATO with a 7 gallon bucket. My system could handle the entire amount with minimal concern.

Since my last post, I currently now have my ATO connected to my 50 gallon Salt Water Mixing station. I have it directly connected to the RODI Storage barrel that runs a VarioS4 Return pump and run it off my Avast Marine Peristaltic Pump for a Auto Top-Off!
So I have a 25 gallon container filled at all times with fresh RODI water. I just recently update my RODI to the BRS 6 STAGE with the DUAL Membrane to cut the waste water and half and it will give you double the production of the product water. Also, I have the new GHL #MaxSA doser that also connected to my saltwater barrel so I can do my scheduled AWC''s
