Water – Excessive Water Running Alert (Left the Hose On)

pumpwaterwater tankwell-pump

We are designing a rain water collection system involving 27,500 gallons of tank storage that will serve to replace a dried up well for the whole house needs.

Accidentally leaving a hose running happens (especially with kids :). We are looking for a monitoring device/system that will alert if the tank pumps are running excessively (more than the normal flushing of toilets and doing laundry and filling horse troughs). It would be a shame to accidentally empty those tanks of precious New Mexico rainwater.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Thank you,

Kevin

What you are looking for is a remote water level monitoring system. It is all up to cost on how elaborate of a system you want. Here is the google search.
