RO Water Shut off saftey

I have a fresh water tank upstairs, joined a couple of BLUE USB 3 cables together and daisy chained the Apex Neptune EB8 power bars together using the Aquabus ports. I control all my main lights, moon lights, canister filter, CO2 solenoid valve and main water pump.

Yea that seems ideal but my tank is too far from where my RO set up is

Was thinking something like this but it seems stiff for 233$ but kinda the idea I'm looking for

I use high tech. I put my 5 gallon bucket in the sink and set a timer for 50 minutes. If I forget it overflows into the sink.

Except for the one time the bucket sits on top of the drain... people I know had a $30,000 flood claim due to that.

I have yet to see a float valve shut off that works for any longer than a month. They are a waste of time and money. Like has been said before, set a timer. It’s way more reliable than anything else.
