Welcome!!! :D:D

one of the cheapest way is to use a float switch.

The switch goes on when your water level is below your desired mark. This will then switch on a small pump in a container with water. Which will fill up your main tank.This link will help

Thanks for the link. No wonder a search I did revealed nothing. I was searching auto water topoff system ....

It looks good. But I have a phobia about all these electrical stuff in the water. I would prefer a non-electricity driven one like the nurce or use a device like that found in toilet cistern. The float switch method will be my last choice. Right now I am using a simple drip. Still need to top up manually, but I make fewer trips from pail to sump. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my 2 footer without a sump.

Thanks

I too wanted to do the float system but too much work. So i stuck with the float switch.

Here is another one you can build using pep bottle or bigger using the same concept gravity and displacement.

I'm using a chiller so a pep bottle (1.5l) can last me quite long. You may need a bigger bottle depending on you evaporation rate.
