Does the float now put fill in or out of the water? Potable water? Water level full and calling for water? Max size of float? How is your float valve mounted?

I see some nice plug in ball valves I could use that I assume activate to open when powered and closed when not (normally closed). I could use that possibly but would need some other sort of sensor that controls the plug. I see they make them for sump pumps but they turn on when the water level is high. I want something that turns on (to open valve) when the water level is low.

110v power is not an issue, right at the tank.

To reverse plug in valve is a relay. Can also do it with a n.o. valve. The one problem if power loss valve opens. Want a diagram and parts list?

Can't you use a normally closed float switch and a solenoid valve? The circuit would close when the water drops to a certain level.

Everbilt Wide-Angle Normally Closed Contact Float Switch EBNCFS - The Home Depot

Everbilt Normally Closed Float Switch is a replacement for aerator and stock tank pumps. Allows the pump plug to be plugged directly into this plug.

And that powered valve you show IS a solenoid valve. They just did not call it that. Whether you need a normally closed or normally open valve would depend on your application

Also put in some tought on what would happen during a power outage and how your switch/valve will behave

You could try a toilet fill valve or two. Cheap.

A motorized ball valve sounds like it would be a slow close. Also, if the power goes off, I think you would want the valve to close.

I am worried the float valve won't work right in this tank. The ones with the long cords.

Why do you think the normally-closed float switch (not valve) won't work? You simply plug the valve into the piggy-back plug on the switch.

As was said a non-modulating float valve will work, Look at Jobe.

As was also said, a float switch with a electric solenoid "sprinkler" valve will work.

Valve u show is motorised and will not shut off right now. A solenoid valve will.
Shown is 1/2" they come in 3/4" also. Float has both n.o. and n.c. contacts
