    I am thinking about a couple tanks like this.

    I had a small spot in may garage where a 23 gallon Rubbermaid recycling can fit perfectly.
    I set the float switches so it has to drop 11 gallons, 12", before the RO kicks back on again so TDS creep is not an issue anymore.

    I have been using the MaxCap systems for about 8 years now and there is nothing else like it, I tried them all.

    Is that a LLC? I assume that the top switch with the wires is the shut off switch and the one below it is the on switch. What are the other two bulkheads for?

    I do not have a tank yet just trying to get prepared prior to purchasing one. There is a lot of information on this site about RODI water.

    No, I have the MaxCap UHE RO/DI system which uses stored DI water to backflush the membrane via microprocessor control. The UHE comes with the float switches to control the ON and OFF of the RO/DI system and ensure you have sufficient water to flush the membrane when the processor calls for it.
    low waste RO/DI system

    The upper bulkhead is the 1/4" treated water from the RO/DI and the lower bulkhead is a 3/8" which leads back to a series of solenoid valves on the membrane which flushes the membrane every so often then does a double flush and pickles the membrane in DI wate on shutdown so TDS creep is a thing of the past and the membrane stays basically new forever since it stays clean.

    Their "Solenoid Valve Controller" is very similar and would work with a RO/DI with an ASOV, autoshutoff valve installed.

    That is the system I am looking to get for work. We are currently purchasing RODI water for $1.50 per gallon.

    Question on the ASOV

    My RO system has a permeate pump. The literature that came with the system said the the pump acts as the ASOV. Would I have to add one to use the "Solenoid Valve Controller"?
