    Make sure you use the rubber washer on the outside.

    No prob, your welcome.

    Does your float valve have a adjustable wing nut on it so the float height can be adjusted ?

    If so mine is about 4.5 inches from the top.

    Oh and make the hole as small as possible so you really have to work it in there because the wall is so thin that the float will want to move on ya.

    I seen it in your link provided, it's not adjustable, so your going to have to put it farther up to the top, kinda sucks it doesn't adjust.

    Your going to have to nail it first try.

    And it looks like your going to want the washer on the inside with that model.

    If the float valve is by Kent Marine, it's slightly adjustable. I have float valve installed in my 44gal brute. I can get you the height from top of where to drill the hole if you want.

    Yeah you don't need a DI unit.

    Think about it, your adding tap back to your ro water to raise the tds.

    Only reason you would need a DI Unit would be if you were adding your own additives to raise tds.

    Glad ya got it goin.
