ATO Question

[arthurk0722]

Is it possible to run an ATO from the RO/DI filter system straight into the tank? Or do you need to have a bucket of some sort to first collect the water and then use the ATO from the bucket? I know MarineDepot sells AutoAqua Smart ATO but in the videos they have the water being topped off from a container/bucket. Is there a way to do it straight from the RO/DI into the tank? I don't have any controllers, so could this be an issue for me? AutoAqua Smart ATO has its own pump and sensor so that's why i would need to have a bucket already filled with water. Is there a different technique used where i don't need to do that?

Yes float switch and pressure switch to turn rodi on / off.

i wouldn't recommend it. first the water is all ways on [accident waiting to happen].
second your r/o unit will be turning on and off frequently pumping water thats been laying inside the filters to your tank.
use a 10 or 20gal tank as ago reservoir and use an ato.
