Advise for a new starter.

Hi there I will be starting my own window cleaning business soon and trying to sort my set up. I have ordered a auto shut off solenoid valve to shut when my tank in my van is full of water but what will happen as the tap will still be on?

Will i need to keep going out to turn my tap off? (if so whats the point of a solenoid lol)
Will the water just stay in my garden hose pipe or will it burst, overflow etc?
I feel silly asking but just for peace of mind

I have an auto shut-off on my r/o. Its on the main water inlet before the prefilters and membrane. So when the solenoid shuts off the water pressure in the r/o bleeds down.

Your garden hose should be a good quality one that will withstand normal household water pressure. We recommend you use brass hose fitting/tap connectors.
