theres a piece that attaches to the float swich on a boat that counts how many times the bilge pumps turn on. i was thinking wouldent it be useful to have that hooked to our autotopoffs.
that way you could KNOW if you have an incease in evap or even a leak based on how many times it turns on a day

I would go for somthing like that which is attached to my sumps ro top up. But not directly attached to the ro unit. Cool idea! :)

well at that price I dont think its worth it. If flooding is a concern there are water alarms. Maybee though.

Whats it counting in, gallons?
