Looks like that might work. You will instead have to teach your teenager how to look at that thing and make sure it's working properly, as opposed to teaching him to do top-offs manually ;)

Would you buy one of these for each of your tanks, or just the 125?
I'm still personally very nervous having my RO system plumbed directly to the tank. I just have a 5gal bucket with a cheap float valve to the sump for top off, and fill the bucket every 2 days from the RO. No coming home to an overflowed, brackish tank that way.

I know the guy who owns that company, he lives in Jefferson City, Missouri, he's a great guy with a pretty sweet tank.

I honestly think that product is the best off the counter ATO on the market. I HIGHLY recommend that! you will not be dissapointed in the least.

as you can see, it's a float valve, but has a solenoid as a backup, so you'll never have to worry about the float valve sticking, you can hook your RO/DI unit up to it and never have to worry.

A lot of my friends in KC use these, since they're the hometown product (for the most part) and I've never heard a single negative thing about them.

the best ATO out there is the tunze osmolator hands down.... though it's a little more pricey than some others.... it uses a laser level sensor ( can't be affected by snails and chaeto on it) and a controller that will only allow the pump to run for a maximum of 15 minutes..... no worries of floods.... also has a high level sensor that triggers an alarm to alert you of an impending flood..... I've been running one for 6 years now..... never had the high level alarm go off......

well anything tunze puts out has two things in common: high price, high quality.

You're right though... but seriously that level-loc is awesome...
