Auto top-up help

Sure, glue a baffle in there, or a 3" diameter pipe sitting on a flange, .. you're limited by your creativity more so than anything else. That said, I find it's way easier just to pop a hole in at the height you want, and be done with it. But, that assumes you have access to a glass drill bit or perhaps an acrylic sump.

I don't have a solinoid valve on it right now, but I've used them lot's at a car wash(Not for pressure, but for chemical additives pumped by small pumps.) I used to own and found that there's not much pressure needed for them to function properly. Also I don't think there's any significant loss in pressure by running the tube over the kind of distance your talking about.

I found that it was my kent top up valve leaking where they fused the two sides together - i picked up a float valve at canadian tire for a dehumidifier (10bucks) put it in and no level problems. It runs straight off my ro/di unit in the kitchen (25ft away and splits to the fridge for ice) I am going to start working on a topup container only cause i know having a unlimited water supply to the tank is playing with fire if something sticks. Thanks for all the info..

Cheers
