I have 33 gal barrel that I have been using as an ATO/ RODI tank. I want to make it so that my apex will atomatically fill it up when it gets near empty. then turn the RODI off when its fill. this makes it so I dont have to keep track of when to make RODI water, plus it can reduce TDS creep by having the RODI system make 30 gal batches at a single time.
my thought is that i would place a neptune optical sensor at the top and bottom of the tank. also, i would incorporate a neptune solenoid valve on the RODI system. I would then program the apex to open the solenoid when the botton optic is above water and close the solenoid when the top optic is under water.
would this work? does anyone have a better suggestion? cheaper yet still quality parts then those i listed?
Also, where should I put the solenoid valve, before the entire RODI sytem right?
