What is the voltage and phase of the already installed motor operated valve?

My first thought, if it is 120 v, single phase, wire it through a Potter water 
level switch, valve opens when the float drops. If over 120v wire it through a 
relay, same outcome not listed but it would work.

Can you rig up something that uses whatever level sensing devices the tank 
already has? Otherwise they now make a sonic sensor that can mount to the 
inside top of the tank. You should be able to get a signal from it to operate a 
valve.

So it appears that Cal-Val is probably the right solution. Unfortunately the 
MOV's are already in place.
