Hey all:

I've got my saltwater mix station across the basement (maybe 30' or so) from my sump and ATO res.

What i'm thinking is creating a system so that I don't have to worry about filling the ATO. I've attached a crude diagram of what I was thinking and wanted to get your thoughts.

When the Low float switch gets tripped it will signal to the PMUP in the fill station to turn on, and when the high valve goes it shuts off. I was thinking of adding maybe an optical sensor or a float valve to beef up redundancy on the ATO side of things. As well as if I really wanted to go fancy a low level sensor in the mix station.

That’s basically the set up I have in the ATO for my S650, BUT it’s not automated, I manually turn the refill pump on when it needs refilling via Apex.

Its just something that could potentially fail and get the floor wet, so I just decided on the manual route, but your diagram looks ok.

You might need some sensors in the RODI container as well
 
Hmm, manual wouldn't be a bad option either. Would simplify things and really remove any risk of flood.

Thanks!
 
What pumps are you guys using to get the water from the RO container to the ATO container? I'm thinking of doing this as well.
