Here are some pics of my auto top off and ro/di.
This first pic shows the 2 float switches wired in series which control a 24 volt soleniod on my ro/di supply line.The pump in the barrel is my evaporation top off pump and the grey box on the wall houses a system active light which shows at a glance if ro is being made.sorry the pic is a little dark,the float switches are under the pipe in the middle of the barrel.

Here is my evap control ,i used a reef fanatic wired through 2 float switches in the sump.The reefanatic comes with suction cup brackets for the float switches in the kit,i replaced these with a support made from pvc pipe.
Seems like a very nice unit though.

This setup is insane; when I saw it my mouth hit the floor, in my head I was like this is something out of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I would kill to have a setup like this one. The thing takes care of it self… a lot of hard work here, one hell of a job.
