Im going to be fabricating my first ATO soon and would like some pics of others set-ups.
Plan on the obvious safety precautions in double float switches and what not and want about a 10-15 gallon resevoir.

Something to think about Hoss. About 4 years ago I had a company design a topoff system for my resevoir. I hooked the ro/di directly to the resevoir. The system turned to ro/di on when to resevoir was empty and turn it off when it was full. This was a lot easier on the ro membrane and cut down on di tds creep.

Thats a good idea Mike, if this was my own house I would run a line to it for sure. But I dont have a home RO/DI and cant really go running lines in a condo haha. But I will keep that in mind for when we buy or build for sure.....great point.
