What do you all use to refill the tanks with when the water level goes down automatic pumps.
Looking for a pump to pump R/O water from R/O holding tank to main tank upstairs.

right now, i just fill it by hand, but in the very near future, i will get a VERY week pump, and put it on a timer. the pump will be set for somethign like 4-5 minutes every other day. the pump will move the non-salty water into the sump where it will be circulated.

I dont have the pump yet, everyhting i said were only thoughts. Im definately gonna do it, but I need to do a lot more research first.

I use a float valve in my sump in the center section where the return water is pumped back to the main tank. Beside the sump, I have a plastic tote bucket that I fill with R/O water. I connect the makeup water to the float valve and the water flows by gravity as needed. Fool proof! I fill the 7+ gal bucket every 4-5 days or so.
