I agree with r-balljunkie in that you'll get a million differing opinions. The truth is that failure of most any component in our systems spells disaster, and double and triple redundancy isn't always the answer. Myself, I have a manual float valve running through a NC solenoid valve on my RO/DI that runs every couple hours off my RKL timer. My solenoid valve failed closed and let my return pump run dry last weekend. Autotopoff is being a good sport and repairing it under warranty, and luckily no pump failures. So now I'm running manual float valve direct off RO/DI and it's working just fine.
