If you are connected to a reservoire, then I am referring to controlling the RODI water into the reservoir.

And I mean in general, most people aren't going to setup a tank for a couple weeks only, so the tank wouldn't even be cycled yet.

I have seen setups like yours fail quite often

How did they fail exactly? I would rather rely on an electric solenoid than a pressure activated switch any day.

no direct connection to the reservoir, just manual on and off like I said about 4 hours once a month . I also use my RO for drinking water so I have a T and two valves coming out, one goes to a filling line for my water cooler bottles and the other goes to my top off reservoir.

as for solenoids failing yes I see it all the time, at work and a few in the hobby, they are electrical and break down just like heaters and sometimes they break down properly and some times they don't. I have seen them just stick open, electrically fuse themselves open, break open, ect..
