Right now, telemetry is water spraying out the top of the tank.
And you can see it all over the farm. No binoculars needed!

Out here, we have a simple float that turn off the water *before*
the tank is full:

On the outside, we have a "visual indicator" of the water level:

Then, we have floating weights, that turn off the water before the
tank runs empty, so that there is always 1/3 of a tank for fire.

The whole thing is controlled by a set of pump controllers:

Then, there is the booster pump to boost the pressure in the house:

So, the control is well known (since all tanks have them).
What you need to concentrate on is the telemetry.


Thank you!

Snow is forecast for us on Saturday and Saturday night.
If there is enough power to overcome our Rain Shadow
