So I got my system all set up and ran it for several hours yesterday. I got about 40 gallons of product water but the problem I have is the fact that the unit is spitting out pretty much just as much water out the waste line. I did some research and found a flow restrictor valve (don't have one on the unit) and am thinking of getting one. Would this be a good idea? Also I am using some aquariums as resivores and would like to install a shutoff valve in them but don't know how I would install them into the aquariums without having to drill them. Is there any way to do this or maybe a different product to prevent the rodi system from flooding my utility room? Any advice would be awesome.

yes get a restrictive so you can get the correct ratio for your unit.

they make float switches that clamp on tank rims. specific brand names escape me at the moment.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
