TUTORIALS 》 Arduino UNO - RO Water Purifier Controller

Here is a Youtube VLOG of my DIY RO Water Purifier Controller done via Arduino UNO. I want the Arduino UNO to control the RO pump, so that it pumps for a specific duration and stops automatically. This is done via Opto-isolated 4 Channel 5V 10A Relay Board meant for Arduino UNO, Raspberry Pi or similar SoC boards which offers GPIO pins. To this relay I have connected the RO water purifier booster pump which works at 24V DC connected via 220V AC to 24V DC power supply adaptar. I have also connected a small active 5V buzzer to notify the progress and completion as it fills the tank/canister.

NOTE: I have modified, and removed that calling bell with a tiny low-voltage Active buzzer which can work as it is with Arduino output pins without relay. And as well modified the code accordingly and refined existing code and fixed couple of bugs. I did my first field-test, seems to be working fine. I have to do couple of more times and see.
Here is my updated code:
