All kinds of kits out there but when ever I look at the info on them it always is a 1/4 in connection. My coralife RO unit uses a 3/8 in input, the connections between the different stages of the RO unit and the water and waste outputs are all 1/4 in.
What I don't get is for a float system hooked up to my RO unit wouldn't I want the water cut off at the input side (the 3/8 in tube) and not on the water output side (1/4 in tube) if you just cut it off at the output side wouldn't you just waste a bunch of water as you would have to leave water pressure to the system at all times and just have it all push out through the waste output? Or am I missing something here?
Right now I just run my RO unit when I need to fill the spare tank I keep for water change water or when I need to top my tank off but looking for a more automatic method that doesn't involve me having to do it manually all the time but I really think I'm missing something here.
Thanks,
Matt
