    how to rodi to ATO res.

    OK so I am very new here got my 2016 apex 6+ months ago a barely used it.... sad I know. its time to unlock some of the amazing-ness that is the apex .

    so here is what I am thinking and ppl out there must be doing this..

    I would like to hook up my RODI unit to my ATO res. as I evap. around 2 gallons a day. my ATO res, is a 29H I can go around 11-13 days. (fill it only 90% for the siphon break)

    so here are my noob thoughts on how to do this:
    get 2 OS1 sensors for the ATO tank low and high.
    hook them up to the FMM.
    get the SV1 to control RODI water coming to ATO res.

    now here is what I dont understand.
    1)my RODI is on ground floor and my tank is on 2nd level will the RODI push h2o up a level?
    2) where should the SV1 go? I am guessing near the apex and ATO res.
    3) should I use 2 SV1s?? just for redundancy and safety.
    4) would love to add a LDK but all my ports would be full on the FMM is there a way around this?
    5) is the a crazy idea? sure would make my life a lot easier.


    cheers

    RODI should push up a level. It will be slower but should work.

    The SV-1 can go where you please as long as it's on the RODI output tube. Make sure you have an auto shutoff valve on your RODI.

    I would use a float valve as a backup rather than a second SV-1.

    The only way to get leak sensors will be another FMM or an ALD. Pick your poison.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    thanks for the feedback Zombie!
    yeah after typing that up I was thinking a float valve in the res would be good idea.
    i'll have to get a shut off valve for the RODI.

    most likely just get another FMM at some point...
