Mike, you do know that your TDS may be higher when just operating the RO/DI as top off water. You got the double solenoids for redundancy, cool, but the first Liter of my RO is allways higher in TDS. I find that making 20g at a time, then using that for ATO water, my TDS stays really low. But if I tap off the first liter, it's like >15PPM

In regards to ATO, I also understand the rise in ppm on the initial run off.

It will be programmed to drain off a set amount before diverting to the tank. ProfiLux has the power to do this with programmable logic control and a few solenoids.

RO outlet goes to a T piece, there is a solenoid on both tee ends, one for waste pre tank fill run off and one for ATO. The run off solenoid will be programmed to come on for a few minutes prior to the tank flow solenoid coming on.

So equipment break down.

1 x wireless bridge adapter (network is upstairs, tank downstairs so need a link to the controller)
1 x PAB power bar
1 x GHL pH probe
1 x GHL Redox probe
1 x GHL Salinity probe
1 x GHL Humidity/Air temp Probe (this is for the house)
1 x Aqua Digital ozone unit (max on two hours after feeding)
1 x 4 channel GHL slave doser
1 x BM150Pro bubble Magus Skimmer
2 x Tunze 6055 streams
2 x Tunze - GHL control cables
2 x GHL optical level sensors for ATO and AWC
2 x Aquarium Illuminations LED lighting

3 x Bubble Magus Balling chambers
1 x Acrylic sump

Mike, where are you getting your Reef Safe Solenoid valves from? I've been searching for a cost viable source for a long time.
