Gravity Auto Top Off

[Mbodell]

I am trying to find a way to design a gravity auto top off without using a float switch. Is there any way to do it without using an air tight container?

Just use a float valve and keep the water reservoir above the level of the valve.

I was trying to find another way to do that because I have a 55 gallon ro tank that I wanted to somehow incorporate.

if you created a siphon then put a float on the tank that is receiving it should never lose that siphon as long as the level in the 55 didn't go below the hose. Or drill the 55 but most are tempered on all panes

Well you are exclduing two of the simplest and cheapest methods to create the top off. Anything else would be costly or overly complicated. With that said, you could go for a Tunze osmolator...retail is about $200

hey i use a gravity feed with a product called "level loc" it basicly a float switch on a bracket with a solenid so you can put it on a timer if you wished to use a pump. I use mine with a 5 gallon bucket in my closet behind my tank and i use the float valve on the gravity feed. any other info needed if you wanna go this route contact me - joey

float valve with gravity fed water feed is simple if you have the space.

Thanks for the offer. This thread was from Feb so I already figured out something. I went with an aqualifter and a float switch on my reef keeper elite.
