I think it is, but I am not a water chemist.

The float/solenoid is installed as designed by Kent Marine. The float has a positive shut-off like a toilet float. The solenoid is pressure actuated. They work together and are pretty redundant already. This system has been running for almost a year, no problems.

Kent designed redundancy into their system, I do not have any power connected to the fill system, just the pump/powerhead. I did consider heating the water but decided not too for several reasons......DC
