LOGO's are either 12/24 or 120/230. I got a 230 RL for a steal on ebay. Might have some more 230 RC's coming too. RC's have a clock and calender in them. You could do Lighting cycles with a RC. Thats the next plan

so why not just put in a GFCI breaker to supply the solenoid power supply....and done....or am I missing something?

Thanks, very helpful... I don't think I'll be able to find a 1" solenoid for corrosive fluids though

They do have a 3/4" one but part of the housing on it is brass.

They will have anything you need for any application....teflon ....stainless....they got it all

Nothing to do with GFCI, in fact, I dont run them. Just more personal preference

But I am just looking for 1/4" solenoids, 120v that can be used for the RO water and won't contaminate it. May have found some with www.plastomatic.com

Asco also has plastic body valves.....you name it

here is the catalog.....and they are great people to deal with

Cool I'll check the catalog. If I can find a suitable solenoid, I'm going to try it for my surge system. Thanks very much!

I like rainbird valves. You can use your own controller, or any sprinkler controller they make.

Asco way to expensive and Rainbird looks like they only offer larger valves, 1/2" and above???

One question, Is Stainless OK for contact with the RO/DI??? I have found lots o little stainless valves that might work great
