Your RO has an auto shut off, just ignore that post. It doesn't make sense to me either.

I wouldn't trust my float 100% either, I put a ball valve before the float so I'm only filling the container when needed. The float itself is more of a safety switch so I don't flood the place if I forget to turn off the valve.

what does not make sence? I think I'm being clear? I made last post before I seen his last ones

But yes, now that he says he has a Pressure tank RO, he allready has a shutoff installed on the RO system.

But again, I'm not really understanding the RO Auto shut-off?

Once the little R/O pressure tank fills doesn't the unit always shut off?
Ohh you have a RO unit with the pressure tank, then you should allready have a shut off valve. basic RO/DI units like most reefers have do not have the shutoff incorporated as they do not have a pressure tank.

This is what I am refering to
