[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1648404, member: 9096"] you could use a pressure sensor in the line, if it's the common line to the house, a lower pressure could be detected.. if the low pressure is sustained for more than 10 minutes it could do something.. and you'd have power there If you're adventurous and computer savvy, you could build your own device with an Arduino... you can get 5V pressure sensors for about $10 , if you have about a 50psi system, you can pretty much detect the water level to the inch, though being remotely mounted you might have to make some assumptions about flow and pressure loss How far is it from the house to the tank? Of course you can have another subscription service that'll work over the cell phone, but if you can get a good high-gain wifi antenna that would be the easiest [/QUOTE]
