I'm getting my fish rooms RO/DI setup ready, and I have two Brute containers, one for fresh the second for new salt batches, that I want to add float valves to. What type works best for these cans ?

Most ppl use these in combo with a shutoff kit on the RO/DI unit.
+1 I use one of these as well. If your unit is from BRS then it probably has the shutoff kit already installed and all you would need is the float valve. If it's another brand then I'm not sure. They sell autoshutoff kits on their website.How and what's needed for the shutoff kit on the RO/DI unit ?
I use this too, my Brute is on casters and I roll it to the rodi unit. I have a piece of rodi tubing with a quick connect on the brute. I hook up the rodi unit, turn it on and come back later. Haven't overflowed a bucket since doing it this way, at least not from the rodi unit hahaMost ppl use these in combo with a shutoff kit on the RO/DI unit.
The pictured float valve will install on the trash can as is (at least that's what I did). You just drill a hole big enough (I think it was 1/2" but I can't completely remember).I did order the BRS Plus system 1.5 years ago, so I need to check to see if I have the shut off valve. I've had two bad health issues the last year, so I haven't unboxed it or look on my order list.
I know I'll need the Uniseal's for the bulkheads.
What size did you install ?
In tandem with a ASO Valve on my Spectrapure RO/DI unit, but i recently upgraded to a Avast Marine Barrel Tender V2.
For the o/p, have you considered plumbing the brute cans into your system? Basically let water flow through bucket 1 and 2 then into your sump. When it's time to change water, turn a valve to bypass bucket 1. Drain bucket 1, fill w/ ro and mix salt. Turn valve to add bucket one back into the system. Water change is done.
