Auto top off with RO/DI

Hello all. I just wanted to share some results I've had running an electric solenoid valve with a float valve and timer from my RO/DI. I've had great results with the manual float valve and my timer, but I've had four solenoid valve failures in six months. Paul from Autotopoff.com has been fantastic with fixing them under warranty, but the last one I got was leaking as soon as I installed it. Lesson learned is that these $15 solenoids are not a wise choice imo considering the consequences.
