I have the same thing for drinking water and use it throughout the day. But my RO cycles much more often then that. I plugged the solenoid in this morning to catch up with the evaporation during the night and then unplugged it. I just tried it again & if I plug it in it would open the valve again. So it's cycling on & off very frequently. And that's not so good. But neither is plugging in the solenoid twice a day (or putting it on a timer) as then the fresh water is hitting the tank all at once rather then throughout the day. I've been reading on RC and there are ways to have the best of both worlds... constant replenishment of evaporated water and batch replenishment of topoff water. Ben, I thought you had something like that with the tupperware container that holds your replenishment water. Does is cycle on & off as it's used? Or batch replacement?
