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

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

These guys sell a 1/4" solenoid with john Guest fittings on each end. I've used them and they work perfectly well.
