I have about had it with overflowing ro/di storage containers (only about a gallon this time, but still), do you guys use auto shut-off valves??? And where can I get one.

Go to home despot and buy a sprinkler timer for the faudet you attach your RO/DI intake to the faucet. It will save you

Go to home despot and buy a sprinkler timer. Attach the hose intake fitting to the timer, then attach the timer to the source water faucet. It will save you money and a headache or two, and help insure harmony in the home.

Spectrapure also makes a float valve that uses a feedback pressure relay to turn off the source water when the float is actuated by high water, I bought one several years ago, dont remember what I paid, but I never installed it (I'll get a round tuit eventually)

You can also hook up a toilet valve with the float built onto it.

Kent has a float kit that includes the solenoid to take pressure off the RO. I've saved the cost on wasted DI resin!
