Was just pondering a system to use the RODI unit to fill pressuriezed tank.

Then use this with a solenoid to top the tank off.
I am worried about how to put the safety's in place to make sure i do not have a flood. Maybe a rope leak detector.
I am going to design the new tank stand with the bottom part of the tank stand to be a giant water catch pan to help with problems.
The will almost never be a time the house does not have person in it for more the 8 hours.
I am asking because I am going to be starting a new 125 gallon tank in the next few months and am looking for a way to make tank care easier for my Wife while i am at work for extend periods of time.
What safety's would you do? What things would you add to make tank maintenance easier?
ATO tank
Re: ATO tank
I think it's a great idea. You can combine a float switch with a water level switch and the leak detector. I am fully confident leaving my tank for over a week at this point.
Personally I have a water level sensor in my ato reservoir that I automate refilling to 100%. I have float switches that tell me if my sump level is too low or too high. I have a pressure switch for my skimmate collector that shuts down my skimmer if it gets full.
They all send me alerts so I'm always in touch with what's going on.

Re: ATO tank
Would you put the pressure tank in the stand or keep it remote like in the laundry room? I was thinking about remote under my utility sink in the laundry room then just have a solenoid to shut it on and off in the stand.
Would solenoid would you use?

One that defaults to off. I dont know what brands are better though. But I wouldn't try for the cheapest
