July 19, 20242 yr I made SWMBO an automated irrigation system ; it works well . Currently I use a transparent tank outside so she can see when it’s low and fill it up . Don’t trust any HA device off the mains to fill the tank and one day fail . Problem is as the tanks transparent it’s not uv stable but it’s easy ( without going outside ) too see the water level is low and top it up . So I can’t use a transparent tank . A non transparent is fine but I can’t find a ‘simple’ mechanical device that shows the water level ( like a flag on a buoy ! ) . Trying to spend very little on this 😊 Any suggestions?
