No I didn't mean I was wasting more water using a reservoir I thought I was wasting more water than you. My top off sends about 5 gals at a time from my reservoir and the pass-to-drain flushes it every time it opens the auto-shutoff.

It sure is nice not having to worry about overfilling the reservoir or saltmixing barrel. Like you say when it's full and the float in either container shuts off the solenoid I can shut the valve to either one later without a spill.
