I do not have an Apex, but still have an ATO. Most have a safety feature of some sort to prevent overfilling your tank. When setup properly there is very little risk of an overflow.

The answer is in your question. The kiosks only sell RO water, meaning at it's very best you're looking at 5 TDS, realistically 20-30 tds. If you were to purchase from the kiosk then you would have to devise a way to pass the water through DI resin to strip the last of the ions from the water, that requires a dedicated pump (void of any internal metals). It can definitely be done, my reverse ask is, "is it worth the hassle? "What is the consensus about using the RO kiosks that are popping up on every corner? In my area $1.00-1.25 for 5 gallons makes buying a RODI unit rather expensive. I might add that I have operated RO units from 100 gpd to 2,000gpd and the initial cost is not the end of your costs. I do acknowledge that just turning on a faucet is convenient.
Thanks! I'm thinking of getting an ato, but I don't wanna without an apex or something similar due to the fact that it can get stuck in the on position and I don't wanna risk that much water on my floor. What apex controller setup should I get? I've looked at the jr and o think the classic may be a better version for me even if the tank is just a 40g. I go on ski trips almost every weekend so an ato is practically a must
Yes my sump has about 8 gallons of extra capacity and my ATO only holds 1.5 gallons. I have to top it off every three days or so but salinity is very stableI do not have an Apex, but still have an ATO. Most have a safety feature of some sort to prevent overfilling your tank.
