RODI float valve and waste water line

[JMG718]

I manually start and stop my water source
as it fills a 50 gallon container with rodi water.

Looking to add a mechanical float valve to the container, as I recently had a situation where I forgot and woke up to a nice mess in the basement.

Just wondering.. how do I automatically stop the waste water line so I am not constantly wasting water

Thanks

I bought a water leak detector on Amazon for a couple bucks and it’ll make a very loud siren when water spill in the floor.

A solenoid with pressure shutoff and the float switch should do the trick.

As mentioned above, you can use a hydraulic auto shut off (this is the most common solution):
