Abstract
A solution is presented for the problem of filling a storage carboy with deionized water without the need for annoying reminders to close the faucet valve. A solenoid-activated valve, regulated by a spring-wound timer switch, is installed in line between the faucet and deionizing column. Existing systems can be retrofitted for under $100. The device allows for carefree filling of the carboy without flooding.
