water cut-off works fine now. Unit did not come with a retaining nut...had to use the original plastic nut. Worked fine.

Yeah, another one of my brain storms. I have a 90 gallon Discus tank on the first floor and I can't just top off the tank with tap water b/c it's softened water. Too much sodium for fish but good enough for us????? But I digress.
I'm tired of lugging 5 gallon jugs of well water from the basement, especially when I need to replace about 7 gallons of evaporation during a dry week (I have lots of lights for plants also).
SO, I got a refrigerator water line kit with the strap valve and plastic 1/4" hose. Drilled an angled hole through the bottom of the flooring and came out the drywall under the tank and behind the stand. Ran the hose through, connected the strap valve to a 1/2" cold water line and ran the other end of the hose up under the hood where it meets this float valve. It's mounted temporarily so it looks ugly but works great. No more up the steps carrying well water.
Since the float/valve drips water in (once the final level is established) it won't stress the fish, the heaters or me.
other creative uses of float valves are encouraged....could be a blog!
