I've designed a solar-powered water pump for another industry that I need a suggestion on. The pump is connected to a float to turn it on, and rather than just running until the battery goes dead, I'd like it to run for about 2-10 minutes to start a siphon then shut the pump off to conserve the battery and extend pump life. Ideally the float/pump would then be "alive" again in about 6 hours if there is still enough water present for the float to turn the pump on. The timer would be outside but covered from direct rain.
Ideas?
