A float valve is much like the one in your toilet... when it drains it fills up again. The only problem is that they require regular cleaning, or they may become jammed and a overfill is a possibility.

My 2cents.

.
Or a Turbosnail may lift the float and your water reserve drains into your tank. The sonic sensors are better.
