So, for you and @Daltrey - do you have your RODI automatically hooked into these containers with a float switch? Or do you just manually fill them when they are low?
My RODI water automatically connected to the right container with a flow switch

I just use a container from my LFS and drop the Tunze pump in, if I rearrange my stand area at some point I’ll move my sump over so I can fit a larger container.

Just started filling my mixing station today as well.

I've been just manually filling mine. It takes around 6 hours to fill. Every time I think about adding a float switch I get worried about it overflowing. I had an rodi hose burst loose under my sink at my last house one night and it flooded our kitchen. I may change my mind in the future though. We have a brand new house and my wife will kill me if that happens again, ha.

HAHA - I don't blame you!! I actually have more often overflowed my system because I forget about it in the evening and don't have a float switch hooked up! lol. My husband gets SO mad! So a float switch isn't sounding too bad!

I also use a @AVAST Marine Diaphragm pump to push the water from my Fresh RODI container through my Kalk Stirrer IN ORDER TO maintain a stable PH and I decided on there Diaphragm pump since this little baby can push water a Max head pressure of 60psi or 130ft , so it's a little powerhouse coming in at 200mls per min but its all set up on a timer!
