I'm confused? Assuming I had no float valve and I was just using the R/O for drinking water... so what happens at the R/O tap on my sink? Am I suppose to shut of the inlet to the R/O system every time I'm not filling a glass of water?

I have a shut off on the line that I t-ed to the mixing tank just as an extra precaution for the twoish weeks that I'm not making water but again I fail to see how the float switch doesn't simulate pretty standard operation?
