Hi Everyone, I am in process of setting up a new tank and would love some feedback/advice on my AWC and ATO plan before I move forward and start putting holes in some walls and the floor... My plan can be seen below, thank you!

It looks right to me also.
You may already plan on it, but I would strongly recommend also using a float valve and auto shut off valve with your rodi instead of just relying on a solenoid to shut it off. Without them if that solenoid were to fail open you would waste a ton of water and overflow your storage tank.

I learned that lesson the hard way.

Looks great. I would probably run a LLS in your saltwater reservoir as well so you can program it to skip the water change if it falls below a certain level (you have 2 spare ports on the FMM module).
Good catch, yes I should definitely do this as well!

Thanks for the recommendation, I will incorporate that into the design. I guess the BRS RO/DI comes pre installed with an auto shut off so I will just need to throw on a float switch. Thanks!
