I have a brute container that automatically fills with RO water. There is a ball valve plumbed into it so I have fresh RO available on demand. I also use this container to top off my tank through a float valve in the sump. My ro filter is on a garden water timer and I have programmed it to run for an hour a day to refill the water in the container with a float valve on the end in the event that the brute container ever gets full. I usually only keep it 1/3 full though because I don't want to dump 20 gallons of water into my sump if the float valve ever failed. The automation is great. I like never having to think about freshwater top off, however if I had the space I would have liked to have a separate RO storage container and a separate RO top off container.

Here's a quick list:

Scullery sink
City water tap and RODI water source
Floor drain
Workspace (countertop)
Shelving & cupboards
Double the plugs you think you need (mixed GFCI (for heaters) & non-GFCI (for main pumps))
Small Fridge and Freezer (fridge could be a small wine bottle chiller *Colby's idea*)
Suspended ceiling or easy way to suspend wires and cables from the roof
Mold & mildew resistant drywall
3/8" or 1/2" painted plywood applied to the walls to fasten stuff to!
Electric raceway to conceal cables
HVAC or a direct vent outside with a humidistat control

I wish I had more plugs in my fishroom and will likely add some more before I finish the backsplash.

Quite ceiling fan vented outside house
Roxal soundproof insulation
Sump drilled and plumbed to floor drain

My system uses a solenoid on a timer so it only opens twice a day for 5 minutes. And that's just to fill the pail. There is still the tunze osmoregulator controlling the actual filling of the sump from that bucket. Double redundancy makes me happy



The new AWC has an RODI section and a FSW section that the profilux will control





Not quite done yet though!
