    I made a device that will turn it off RO when the flow rate drops (or stop) on the permeate line, but I have heard of folks using those outlets and aiming a webcam at the tubing to shut it off remotely! It's great to be able to have things run when you're not around, especially for those of us that do this as a hobby.

    I use a GRL8-02 level controller to turn it on and off depending upon the sap levels in the tank. Very reliable and automated.
