Don’t forget to turn your RODI off

I find my brain doing this less now that I have my trash cans ATO reservoir surrounded with moisture alarms.

Lol I know that feeling now I use floats

Definitely with you.  Flooded too many times.  I use a dial switch now. Like on garden hose

Yeah, flooded it the first time I filled it. Bought a float switch the next day.

Sigh ... One of the worst parts of the hobby is making water.

I still find it funny that nearly everyone universally uses "making water"....

Do these exist for faucets or inline?

I do this all the time also. I have a float switch so I don't have a flood but I do waste a LOT of water and media when I forget.

I really should just get a float but I keep putting it off. I set my phone alarm to check every hour until the reservoir gets near full, then I check every 15 minutes or so. Inevitably though I will be in the middle of something else and just turn my phone alarm off and forget to go check the RODI. Then I have a load of towels to throw in the dryer..... Oops!

They're cheap and easy to install! I highly recommend you make the 10 minute commitment.

Last night my water alarm thing didn't go off and I fell asleep in my chair with water on. There was an empty 12g tank on the floor next to the 40 brute, and luckily the way the water was slowly spilling over around the brute rim sent it right into the 12g. The 12g started to overflow after that, but things would have been a lot worse if I hadn't been too lazy to put that empty tank somewhere besides the floor (it's been empty for over a year).
