How does this work? Will I need to run my RO/DI from heater to tank? I know there's valves you have to buy but just wondering the main set up. Anyone have pics?
It can work in a variety of ways. Are you planing to have an auto top off reservoir that you fill periodically, or are you wanting plumb your RODI system directly into the tank?
Yes, any container will work fine. I used a 10 gallon container made for potable water for an RV or horse trailer. I spray painted it black, and it sits behind my tower speaker so it blends in with the furniture. BRS has a great example of hiding a top off reservoir in a foot stool or ottoman.
I really like the systems from autotopoff.com. They work well and are priced great. You would definitely want a 2 switch system. You want redundancy or you could end up flooding the house.
I use an aqualifter pump that is controlled by the autotopoff.com system to move water from the reservoir to the sump.
I then use a hose that goes from my RODI Tanks in the laundry room to fill my reservoir, and for water changes.
