I would not use a single osmolator to supply top-off water for two seperate systems. I would think that Murphy's law would strike and you may end up with a modern diluvial!

It will likely be worth it for peace of mind to invest in a second osmolator. I have seperate top-off's for three different systems, have avoided any severe mishaps and have kept the wife happy by not having large amounts of saltwater on the floors.
