very impressive. 3 questions.
1. are the lines with the drip emitters on the end required to be in the tank or can the be in the sump?
2. in theory could, instead of drain into red bin, if the sump drain outlet was high enough, could you drain straight down into the sink t fitting?
3. any ideas on how to do this with a salt system without using the float switches?/ any ideas how to do that with a large bin full of mixed saltwater?
your video was so simple and eloquently done bravo, please make more videos.

thank you
))Doesn't matter. You can put drip emitters wherever you want if you will remember to put it after pressure regulator. Drip emitters must have between 15 to 50 psi.
Yep
) That will be perfect/better way. I couldn't do it like that because my sing is higher than my sump (much higher).Hmmm... Why you don't want to using vertical float switches ? Only way is to drain straight to the sink if you have a good level ? I'm not sure what are you thinking about
You worry about a proper level salt in water ? If yes, it can be a problem... You can buy a electronic feeder to put a appropriate amount of salt, but you will need lots of test to set a good quantity of salt.
OK, I will...
for 2 weeks I will have much more time.Thank you.
well the reason for avoiding float switches is because if salt creep got in there and broke the switch and overflowed the tank.
I suggest running your incoming lines to the sump by default, never to the display, gives at least better equilibrium potential.
Im interested in what other parameters your monitoring if youve changed to RO exclusivity.
If your floats ever give you trouble, look to pressure switch tubes.
applause for the effort in under taking, it turned out well, assuming you did all the work yourself?

surely the overflow on the sump is the safety
if power does go out the pipes on the pumps will drain when power goes back on the water level in the sump will be lower as the extra water from the pump pipes would have gone down the drain which will be topped back up by the drip
its all about what works for you and what you are happy with for me its a 50mm sump drain

That is an excellent idea. If I had the time or money I'd go for it. For now, the python will have to do.
