ro mishaps

[michika]

We too used to frequently wash our floors with RO/DI. Then we got float switches, no more RO/DI floods!

It's not SUPPOSED to go on the floor?? Hmm.

I have mine hooked up in the bathroom, my RO jug sits in the tub. I've forgotten about it too many times to do it any other way

Hehe, this is what I do also, except in my kitchen sink. I fill 5g jugs with it, so they sit in the sink until I get to them.

Mine sits in the laundry tub, the problem arises when I switch jugs over and forget to put the new jug in the sink

I made sure my line wasn't long enough to reach anywhere but the sink.

What do you have the float switch hooked to...power or the auto shutoff valve?

[michika]

Its hooked up directly to the RO/DI. Its a humidifyer float valve. No pumps needed.

a float switch? where would I find one. Homedepot or LFS?

Ours came from Rona, I think it cost about $12. It got mounted on the inside of a 55l garbage bin in our storage room.
