Hey all. A little question about my mixing station. Currently designing it.

I intend to set up 3 reservoirs one with rodi, 2 with salt mix to be connected to my auto aqua awc (auto water changer). I'll be doing daily water changes of 10 litres (650 litre aquarium). I need two tanks with salt mix to easily switch from one tank to another when the one I'm using is empty

This would require me to feed water into a small 15 litre reservoir under the aquarium by gravity so the awc can draw water from it. Now here comes my question lol.

What piping should I use to go down from my mixing station into the 15 litre reserve? I was going to use 32mm pvc piping but have no idea how to adapt it to a float valve to stop the feed by gravity.
Thanks in advance!!
 
RO/DI line would work just fine, specially if your going to use a float valve.

My soon to be setup AWC(waiting on versa pumps) will just use RO/DI line.

Is there an adapter to switch over from 32mm pvc to rodi line?
 
Why the adapter? Jsut run RO/DI all the way from the barrel to tank.

I'm confused on why you need the hard PVC. I'm also assuming your not from the US?

Nope I'm from Malta Europe. The problem is I don't like the 1/4 inch pushfit tank connectors. They look flimsy and unreliable keeping in mind they will be holding 100litres of water pressure. You think they can do the job?
