Regulating Water in a Tank with Windmill Feed
A practical device to regulate water in a tank fed by windmill uses a rubber hose at the bottom and a float on the water surface. As the water rises the float twists the hose end to shut off the supply, preventing overflow. The setup is ideal for tanks fed from a spring or supply tank, with a pulley guiding the cord from the hose end to the float.
