Auto shut off valve advice.

Hey all.
I have my RO set up in an unused shower at my house, the waste going directly down the drain and the reservoir being a 20 gallon rubbermaid. Will this system work for me? http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...or~~tab~2.html

Any other suggestions? Thanks,
Boneh

Your link didn't open for me. I use a Kent RO unit with there auto shut off system http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...ct~KM1651.html
The pressure solenoid stops RO function. With out the pressure solenoid the RO unit will continue making waste water even thou the float valve stops the RO water from filling your bucket.

link still didn't work for me. My system had been up and running for over 10 years. I'm sure what you've found will work just as well as my Kent system.

yeah any shut off valve will stop was water from flowing. once you get back pressure from the float valve it cuts flow into the filter. is this what your looking at?
