[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7604517, member: 4505"] Well, this is an interesting problem! Is there a way of using a pressure change in the water in the pipe to turn the pump on and off? As the water in the tank drops, the pressure in the supply pipe will also drop due to the lowering of the head. Not much, but the decrease in pressure will continue all the way down the pipe to the pump. Is there a pressure switch that can detect this very small change in pressure? Could that change in pressure be used to switch the pump on? The switch could be programmed to keep the pump running just long enough to refill the tank, then switch off. Oh well, it was just a thought. :) [/QUOTE]
