I have to control duplex lift pumps that are used to fill a remote water storage tank on a hill some 2000 ft away in difficult terrain. I have heard of radio transmitted controls (i.e. level float switches connected through radio transmitter/receiver ) between the pump (controls) and the tank. Where can this be found and what other inexpensive alternatives exist.
Thanks
