In this video, Robert explains his process for creating an automatic way for turning off his rain barrel water pump when the water in the rain barrel reaches a specific low point.
He also demonstrates how he wired up the float switch and protected the cables using a junction box and conduit.
Overall, Robert's goal was to keep the overall cost low by adding a way to automatically turn off the water pump if there was not enough water in the rain barrel to help protect the pump.

What makes a difference for me in watching your video projects is the fact you don't stick your face all over the majority of the video and talk about it. I prefer seeing what is being done, than the individual who is doing it. Great job. (From Canada).
The level of care and attention to detail in these videos is impressive, a true pleasure to watch.
I have been looking for a rain barrel system and found your videos. Your videos are so clear, concise, and you narrate what and why you’re doing so it makes sense. I really appreciate everything you’ve done on this series.
Great videos, keep up the good work!!
These rain barre videos are perfect
Thanks for the simple and well explained video.
That drill bit is amazing
Really well explained, thank you!
Great format.
Awesome video and so professionally done. Really have enjoyed your informative series.
I have enjoyed all of your videos. Got some good ideas.
I have a large backyard hydroponic system and was trying to figure out a system that uses a solenoid switch to wove water around the system. I have a 250 gallon water tote that I use as a reserve that gets pulled down to a 32 gallon trash bin that then disperses to the rest of the system. This is the perfect system to use for my application.
Great video!!
Awesome!
This is all so beyond me, fascinating, though. Looks great!
That's exactly what I've needed for my IBC tote rain barrels. Thanks.
Nicely done.
