Automatic water topper uper

[fozzy_wozzy_woo]

Has any one built or thinking of building an automatic water reservoir. I would like to add one to my tank which would automatically adds water when the tank evaporates to a level.

I have thought of a way to do this with a water stop cock from a toilet. (Big rubber ball on the end of the tap.)

This would then connect up to the reservoir which I can top up every so many days and let it sit to de-chlorinate.

Fozz, this is a typical addition to marine tanks. Many things have been tried over the years. The best, most accurate method uses a small float switch wired to a small powerhead in the resovoir.

If you had an inline container holding some kind of material that would remove the chlorine you could use a thermostatic mixing valve and top off the water at a set tempeture. Just tie the mixing valve into a hot and cold supply line and there is no need for an extra resivour or your heater to bring the water from room temp to tank temp.
