I wil be making mine soon, but here's a hint: You do not need a complicated 'controller brain' bucket with relays/float switches etc...


You could simply set up your timers to run for say "8 minutes fill," which depending no your pump, would fill it exactly to the level you need. Also, you could add a simple 'overflow' on a bucket in case something goes wrong to replace the float switches to prevent a mess.

I am thinking with timers and pumps you could set up everything without even needing a 'brain.'

These are gravity feed systems and take a few cycles to fill the buckets. I really don't know if you can safely do it w/o a controller bucket, but would like to hear about your results.

i agree with bluey, i wouldnt try a timer based control system, best route would be quailty float switches, otherwise you have a good chance of having 55gallons of fuck me on the floor

You don't think the overflow he said he would put in the bucket would be enough to stop from flooding his house?
If it was a larger sized hole for the overflow and his pump wasn't too powerful I don't see how that wouldn't work... right....?

Yeah it might be a good idea to just start a new thread in the mean time, trying to start almost 150 posts in might be tough haha

I've always wondered how does the "drain water" get back to the reservoir in this system, does the main pump act as a vaccuum as well and suck the water back to the main reservoir??
