I have just installed a float switch in my one tank and have positioned it so that when the water drops by 100mm, the pump will shut down. I have done this in case I have a burst pipe (had a flexible pipe burst recently but I was there so no water lost), or someone leaves a tap open. 100mm is 520 litres (10 days water). I have made it very easy to adjust, so every few days I will adjust the level... I will now sleep easier knowing that I now will not accidentally waste 10800 litres of water.
Pat McKune The chances of a pipe bursting is very remote, so a simple float switch will limit the loss to whatever on sets the float to.... I could reduce it, but if out and the system shuts down I will be in for a divorce
... so I can live with the unlikely loss of max +-500 litres....
