  Do you have installation instructions for this item? Thanks!

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Joe,
  I would check out our video installation demo. By far the easiest way to see how its done :-)

  How large is the tubing?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Tom,
  The kit and all the fittings are all for 1/4" tubing.

  i purchased a 5 stage deluxe now it comes with auto shut off valve. but your kit has a check valve while the unit does not have a check valve. why is that?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Chris,
  Great question. Both actually have check valves in them. On the prebuilt units it just happens to be internal. We use an external one on the auto shut off kits so that people don't have to take apart their existing units to add it.

  I currently run a booster pump with my ro/di unit. Is there a way to set it up to shut off the booster pump as well?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Doug!
  It isn't possible for the auto shut off valve itself to turn off the booster pump, but most booster pumps manufacturers make pressure switches for their pumps that work on a very similar principle. They install on the product water line and turn the pump off when they sense pressure building up on the product water line (very similar to how the auto shut off valve turns off the unit). We use the aquatec 8800 booster pumps here, he is a link to the aquatec booster pump and pressure switch.

  I have one of the standard RO systems from you and I am interested in making a storage container for my water, but am not sure how exactly to set this up and what exactly I will need. I am buying a 50 Gallon barrel that I will use to keep the water in. Can you please explain to me how I should set my system up and what all I will need to make it shut off automatically without wasting water.
  
  Thank you,
  Collen Stone

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Collen,
  If you have any of our 5 or 6 stage units you are almost ready to go already. The only thing that you will need is a float valve to mount to your barrel. The unit itself already has an auto shut off valve built in that will turn your unit off when the barrel is full. I would also suggest picking up an inline ball valve, just so you can manually turn off the flow to your barrel at some point if you have a need. I have linked both below.
