I posted this on the neptune forum but haven’t received a respone response

i have a low level float switch in my reservoir at the bottom and a high level at the top. in my ato reservoir
Both will be connected to a break out box.
i want it to activate an apex solenoid on the output of my rodi. when the lower and upper float valves are down (closed) and then shut off when the upper is up (open)
i want to include an overide to shutoff after 60 minutes just in case.
i was thinking of adding another apex soleniod to the line side of the rodi just in case 1 fails.

any help appreciated.

You'll need to create a virtual outlet as the Apex will shut the outlet once the bottom float opens.
Adding a 3rd high float will act as an addition fail-safe and can trigger the Apex alarm so you'll know somethings wrong before the reservoir over fills.

Reservoir (virtual outlet)
SET OFF
FALLBACK OFF
If lower_float closed then ON
defer 060:00 -This will keep the outlet on for 60 minuets even if the float valve opens

RO_Solenoid
SET OFF
FALLBACK OFF
if output reservoir = on then on
if float_top open the off

If you know you'll only be filling on Saturdays you can add this to the outlet as well.
if DoW SMTWTF_ then off - you need that last _ as it's a marker for Saturday.
