Water Timers?

[sphelps]

I use rainbird sprinkler valves which are commonly available in 3/4". I use two 3/4x1/2 threaded bushings and two 1/2" MPT to 1/4" QC fittings from Home Depot to plumb the valve into the RO line. The solenoid is 24VAC so you'll need an adapter which is sometimes the hardest thing to find. You can use thermostat transformer which are typically 24VAC or you may get lucky at Princess Auto or The Source. You can also order them online pretty easily from digikey or many other places.

What about a mechanical timer from Lee Valley?

Plumb in a hose bib and use that.

They have battery operated electronic ones as well.

I was able to find a solenoid at Progressive today, so that, hooked to a timer to open it for an hour each day should do the trick. Once I figure out how to wire it under the sink

thats what I was going to sugest, abcha0s design was pretty and realy strait forward, but also uses a tank controler and a bunch of other things you don't so his set up won't work for you.

Do you have your RO filling a bucket somewhere or are you just feeding to the float valve on the sump?

Ya, direct feed to the flaot valve, controlled by a pressure switch. The timer is backup safety, if I only run it for an hour, no chance of filling my livingroom
