Solenoid for Ro/Di

Thanks for all the help guys. Yeah we have princess auto. Which diodes would I need? Also this is directly on the RO side of things. I have it setup working with a float valve in my sump. This valve is suppose to turn on for 30 min a day to aid as a backup for the float valve.

It does almost sounds like the adapter is putting put power where it makes it turn on and off really quick... Maybe this diodes is the answer?

you would need at least 2, 1 amp rectifying diodes, or a bridge rectifier, or they might have a 24v DC adapter cheap.

actually you would only one 1 amp diode to build a half wave rectifier but it might be better to build a bridge rectifier with 4 diodes

If is on the RO side move it on the other side, in front of the RO unit. You don't want to contaminate your RO water with metal ions. I don't like the idea of using a RO unit directly in a ATO system. When you start the RO unit the first 1-2 liters are not the best quality, if it produces only 50ml or less 20-50 times a day, you're not gonna get the best water.
