So i'm looking for a product for an RODI. I want some kind of unit that i can hang onto the side of a bucket, flip a switch and the RODI will fill the bucket and turn off. It would have a water level sensor of some kind and a connection for the RODI water tube.

The idea is i want to place my RODI in a cabinet, put a bucket in there with it, turn it on and walk away. Come back a few hours later or overnight and have a full bucket of RODI water.

If there isn't a product like this, is there a product that will open a solenoid when a float switch is triggered? I think i'd be able to DIY the rest.
 
You can get a float valve. Basically the waterline pushes up the switch which blockes the ro/di tube.

EDIT: @cwalton00 you type faster than me:D
 
Yes float valve. BRS has them on sale for 10 bucks right now.

no, thats not what i'm looking for at all. That requires a hole through a bucket. I would like something i could just hang on the side of a bucket so i can pick up the bucket and put it in my ATO.

While it would work, they have no way to mount them properly so i can remove it from the bucket once its done filling.
