Ok. heres where its gonna get complicated. I'm making an automated water changing system. I purchased a sprinkler control module, and two valves. I plan on installing one on the drain line and one on the fill line from the r/o tank. I also picked up a pump relay to turn on the pump to fill the tank when the valve opens. I will program the drain valve to open then close at the desired amount of time it takes to drain the water i want. Then program the other to open and turn on the pump to fill the tank. I will also install an overflow to city sewer in the event the filling process runs a bit to long. The filter system will be installed midwater level so water changing will not affect the filtration system.

i think its too complicated u coulda gotten by by just having an over flow and a slow drip into the tank from a faucet so that it'll fill up the overflow and that will put it down the drain! but if u have an overflow in ur tank for a sump then u put the overflow in the sump!
