Mine only works when I plug it in. Apparently this is not usually the case. PureFreedom never even mentioned this in the description when I ordered it. I was not expecting a float valve either but I'm very happy this is installed too as it will save me overfilling my tank.

Is yours a powered RO system too?

Thanks in advance chaps

This is what I mean by powered....

The reason it has to be plugged in is the shut off valve. If there is no power the shutoff valve is closed so no water goes in.

It is handy to have the shut off but it does need power. One thing to be careful of is that, as your float switch is 'balanced' in the tank filler it might get stuck and not shut off the water and flood the van!

Thanks Ched. It's not like I'll be leaving it to purify my water overnight but the float switch works perfectly. As soon as the water level reaches the top of the float it rises up shutting off the water. The only thing is I better make sure the solenoid and wires on the RO are covered if it's raining.

Only power mine requires is for booster pump.....does the shut off valve kick in when the float valve shuts off water to the tank so when you're full no water is running through the system?

Yes

Ched is spot on.

I will probably buy one in the future so it would be great to hear how you get on with it?
