    ATK with solenoid to a 50G holding tank ?

    what I'm after is this and not sure how to do it. I'm looking to have a container to fill up my water bucket to make my salt water. but looking it figure it out.

    but this is my current setup

    1. I have my RO unit
    2. I then have reservoir pressure tank to put all my current RO water in came with my unit
    3. then I have a selinod that goes from my line where the tap (this is a tap that I can get water from) is to my ATK.

    and this works for me great.

    But my issue is this right now if I drain my Tank then my ATK will just turnes off as there is no pressure. and if I dont go to my fusion my ATK will not be turn on till I do it manually.

    Then comes my issues if I want to figure out how to add a 50G water bucket. how can I keep my PRESSURE tank full and put water that I make water in my 50G bucket.

    would this be some fancy programming and with a couple more selinods?

    Just not sure how to set this up to run automatically...

    note my drawing skills stuck on my phone..

    How long does it take to fill the 50G tank up? There are ways to fix this without any equipment. Just a different approach to the ATO code is needed.

    dont have the 50g Bucket yet.

    Not sure how to do it this just dont want my ATK have water to supply to display tank from pressure tank and not empty when filling the 50G.

    I Hope I'm making sense..

    I misread. What I meant was the pressure tank. You could avoid the 50G and extra solenoid altogether with proper programming.

    So a bit confused on this

    as again

    right now if I drain my pressure tank (2.5 g) my ATK turns off until I turn it back on.

    so then if I want to add my NEW salt water mixing 50g tank . How can I do this with my current setup without draining the pressure tank (see image).

    how can I make this happen

    Is the pressure tank on the RO side or the waste side?

    Are you planning on automating the fill for the 50g NSW container?

    here is a better image I got not at home so this has to do..

    I'm not sure about what side it's on

    the yellow is where my pressure tank is.
    then it goes to the left (blue line) to the solenoid (S) and the rest of the line goes to sink tap..

    I would like a auto filler for the 50g.

    I'm still slightly confused exactly how everything is piped to be honest.
