R.I.P.
I was asked to build a latching rodi tank controller for a member that does not do diy. The one thing it had to be was as inexpensive as possible while being reliable. I'll post the project here. I'll start off by saying that the word controller makes this sound like a difficult project, on the contrary its very simple.
All we are doing is allowing the rodi holding tank level to fall to a low amount before refilling with rodi water. This process stops the short cycling of the rodi unit cause by using float valves.
Parts:Solenoid valve / Mcmaster 7877k2
Plastic Box / Reef Werks
Magnets / Reef Werks
Float switches / Reef Werks
12vdc Adapter / Reef Werks
Dc Relay (solid state) Reef Werks
Tool: Soldering Iron
Glue gun
Drill
The entire project should take no more than a hour to complete but will take me a few days to get it all posted. It will be complete and ready to go on a rubbermaid container. Intallation on the container should be less than 1 minute.
