I’m going to start doing AWCs with my Apex. I bought an additional Apex el, eb832 and DOS for my garage with the mixing station. For now, I will be mixing the salt and not have that part automated. I have all of the RODI tubing and push connections. What else do I need? I was thinking I need some type of sensors for the sump and the mixing barrels? Which ones would I need? If I put some in the sump, how would I connect them about 40’ away?
 
Hi!
Brute trash bins work just fine if you want an economic solution. You can also spend more for dedicated water tanks. I like that they are translucent so you can see the water levels clearly, and they have the gallon markers. They are expensive, but even worse is the shipping cost.

I have a float valve in my RODI container to prevent overfilling from my RODI, but I just stay in the room when I’m transferring water from my mixing container on the left, to my Saltwater container, on the right.

This is my setup so far.
