It’s common sense Daz. It just opens & closes a circuit. Just drill a hole in the side or top of the tank, whichever works best. The little white bit only moves slightly. Try it when it’s running.  Test it horizontally & vertically & then decide where to put it. It may not work horizontally. Don’t put it in the lid.

If you can put it in the side of the tank make sure it’s not too high or low. Too low & you won’t fill your tank right up to the top. Too high & it could overflow.  Same with the top of the tank.

I've sussed it! It works perfectly!👌 I just drop it vertically into the tank! The problem was the rubber surround needed to be pushed back!🙂👍


Just dropping it into the tank won’t guarantee it will shut off it could float on the  surface and not shut off

Large wire coat hanger shaped  to fit over top of lid hole and tape the float on the hook will do it!👍

I thought you wanted to see the forum die? Why are you posting here?


To wind you up and get a response  got exactly that  😂

Glad you got it sorted Dazmond.

Personally I would have drilled a little hole for it in the top of the tank & added a couple of wire connectors so you can detach it.

I might end up doing that but I'm a newbie when it comes to RO systems and float  valves so this will do the job for now!👍🙂

I see a patent for a "custom float valve holder" in the pipeline.
