I've got one line from my RODI output (AirWaterIce Typhoon) plumbed to a float valve in my sump. A 1/4 turn valve in that line also restricts the flow, so that even when the float valve is open, the water only trickles out (for emergency flood prevention).
My question is, will this very slow output cause my RODI automatic shutoff valve to remain open nearly all the time, so my RODI unit runs nearly continuously spilling water down the drain, as it delivers water very slowly to the sump? I know others use a similar setup. So, does it cause a problem like I'm thinking about? Or am I overthinking this?
One solution I thought of (if there is a problem that needs solved) is to add a small expansion tank (I've seen small ones at West Marine), in hopes that it would reduce the cycling of the RODI auto shut off. Does that seem like it would work?
