Description
Never Overflow Your Reservoir Again
The IceCap Adjustable RO Float Valve is an essential fail-safe for any hobbyist using a Reverse Osmosis (RO) or RO/DI system. Designed to prevent floods and water waste, this simple yet effective component automatically shuts down your water filtration system once your storage container or sump reaches a specific level.
Whether you are filling a 5-gallon bucket or a 200-gallon mixing station, the IceCap Float Valve provides peace of mind by automating the most tedious part of water production.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Adjustable Float Arm: Unlike fixed valves, this model features an adjustable arm that allows you to fine-tune the water level. Simply raise or lower the float to customize exactly where you want the water to stop.
-
Universal Compatibility: Equipped with a standard 1/4" push-connect fitting, making it compatible with virtually all standard RO and RO/DI tubing used in the reefing and hydroponics industries.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with NSF-approved PVC bodies and high-quality 18-8 stainless steel hardware to ensure a long life in humid and salty environments.
-
Leak-Proof Seals: Features replaceable seals made of chemical-resistant Santoprene™ rubber, ensuring a tight shut-off even under pressure.
-
High Flow Capacity: Optimized for efficiency with an estimated flow rate of 1.5 GPM at 50 PSI, so it won't throttle your water production until it's time to stop.
Installation Made Easy
Installing the IceCap Float Valve is a "set it and forget it" DIY project:
-
Drill: Use a 1/2" drill bit to create a hole in your plastic container, reservoir, or sump.
-
Mount: Slide the valve through the hole and secure it using the included heavy-duty jam nut and sealing washer.
-
Connect: Insert your 1/4" RO tubing into the quick-connect inlet.
-
Adjust: Set the arm angle to your desired water height and tighten the wing nut.

Pro-Tip for Best Results
To ensure your RO system fully stops production (including the waste-water line) when the float is triggered, we recommend using this float valve in conjunction with an Auto Shut-Off Valve (ASOV) and a Check Valve on your RO unit. This prevents "back-pressure" issues and ensures zero water waste.
