Wondering why more people don't use those auto shutoff valves for wastewater when the RO water output is blocked (by say a Kent Marine Float valve)? Lots of threads on how the worst thing that happens is waste water flows until they shut it off.
Similar to what is used on RO units attached to drinking faucets:

I was thinking of using this to fill a auto topoff container through a Kent Marine check valve as a backup to a solenoid valve and electronic float as the primary shutoff.
I added this to the lower reservoir of Ken Stockman's topoff design as an additional safety device: http://web.archive.org/web/20060224153133/http://home.nc.rr.com/stockmanreef/diagram_of_setup.htm
