It features an electronic solenoid valve that installs quickly onto your RO unit and a dual optical magnetic sensor that attaches to your desired water level in any container. When the water reaches the set level, the solenoid valve automatically cuts off the water flow from the RO unit, preventing overflows and flood accidents. The magnetic-mount optical sensor allows for tool-less installation in seconds.
Key Features:
-- Prevents flood accidents when making RO or RO/DI Water
-- Installs & uninstalls in seconds
-- Magnetic-mount optical sensor - tool-less installation
The AutoAqua Smart ASOV is designed for aquarium and fish tank owners using reverse osmosis (RO) units who want to prevent accidental overflows. Its key benefit is automatic shut-off, eliminating the risk of floods. A potential caveat is that it requires a power source for the electronic solenoid valve. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the AutoAqua Smart ASOV, covering its features, setup, and troubleshooting.

FAQs
How does the AutoAqua Smart ASOV work?
The system uses an electronic solenoid valve connected to your RO unit and a magnetic-mount optical sensor placed at your desired water level. When the water reaches the sensor, the valve automatically shuts off the water flow.
What kind of power supply does the ASOV need?
The AutoAqua Smart ASOV requires a standard electrical outlet to power the solenoid valve.
Is the installation difficult?
No, the installation is designed to be quick and easy, typically taking only a few minutes, with no tools required for the sensor.
What are the common issues?
Common issues include a faulty power connection, sensor misalignment, or debris obstructing the sensor. Leaks can sometimes occur at the valve connections.
How do I maintain the sensor?
Regularly check the sensor lens for any debris or buildup, and clean it with a soft cloth if needed. Also check the RO/DI filter.
What if the valve leaks?
If the valve leaks, inspect the connections for tightness. If the leak persists or the valve is damaged, it should be replaced.
Where should I position the sensor?
Place the sensor inside the container where you want the water level to be. Ensure it's secure and at the correct height to trigger the shut-off.
Troubleshooting
The valve is not shutting off the water flow.
Check the power supply to the valve. Ensure the sensor is correctly positioned and clean. Inspect the RO unit and inlet water line for blockages.
The sensor is not detecting the water level.
Verify the sensor is securely attached and properly aligned at the desired water level. Make sure the sensor lens is clean and free of debris.
The valve is leaking.
Inspect the valve connections for leaks and tighten if necessary. Check for any damage to the valve body. In case of significant leaks, replace the valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Attach the electronic solenoid valve to your RO unit's water line. Then, install the magnetic-mount optical sensor inside your reservoir at the desired water level.
Power Connection: Plug in the valve to a power outlet.
Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your RO unit's water line size. Check the product specifications for any specific compatibility requirements.
Care: Regularly inspect the valve and sensor for any debris or blockages. Clean the sensor if needed, and check the power connection periodically. Also, check the filter on your RO/DI unit as well.
