The Hydros has 12v Drive ports you can connect a solenoid to but I did not see any that did not have metal. I have used US Solid solenoids but those are the nylon version and they are normally closed. Is there a particular reason you need a normally open one?

I use a float valve for auto top off and I want to have the valve always open and only to shut if theres a overflow.

I do it opposite of that and use the solenoid to do the fill and have a float valve for backup shutoff. But that is for filling my DI reservoir and mix tank.
