You can buy controllers that shut off the pump

something like this for £400

or if you are tight like me and like tinkering you can make your own with a float switch, solenoid valve and then something like this  relay  for about £100

You need a float switch to stop the booster pump.

I think he’ll need some sort of controller to stop the booster pump. Not just a 12v float & solenoid. That’s the problem.

Mine came powered from Pure Freedom but I changed the horizontal float valve (in your pic) to a vertical one so I could just drop it in my tank. Yes it stops the water flow(I don't have a booster pump)

I just put this around the hole at the top of my tank. The stainless steel,vertical float valve was £8  from amazon

A few questions. Does that float stops the booster pump and water flow?
Also is that powered ? And how ?
How exactly is that fitted?  before or after the prefilters?


I was thinking something likes this .

A wee bit of rain and everyone's complaining. Move up here and it rains every second day that's the reason I'm in and out all the time. First thing I have to do is look at the radar website to know when to pop out and try and get finished before it arrives. Last month I managed to do the morning shift and a new customer told me not to clean then because it will be raining later on. I now understand why she can't get a window cleaner.

It is a bit mad today but quite amusing  :D
You’ve got more reels than Scottish😜……..granted they’re not over a grand a pop🤯

Just the one electric xline reel at £500 then the claber that is just there for emergency backup. The reel on top of the frame at the back is for pressure washing and cost £40 off amazon  :D

My van cost less than his reels

Speak to Ian at Spring controllers or a cheaper option is a Clarke CBM240E
