I see a lot of people using Auto Shutoff Valves on their RODI units.
Are most of the RODI units designed to 'take' the water pressure (60-90PSI) from mains tap water when the ASO kicks in?
I had an experience before whereby I had my unit producing RODI water into a storage tank with mechanical float switch, pressure averaged 80-90psi (no electric pump). I however DID NOT have an ASO installed on the unit.
Basically I forgot and went to watch TV. Storage tank filled, float switch stopped the incoming water. The pressure built up and the outlet tubing from the unit burst, lucky I was still home.
I'm thinking, even if I had installed an ASO, would there have been a chance the tubing would have 'come off' somewhere else on the unit if the tap water is left on.
