Two float switches from BRF (I've built several and the like the budget ones the best), a piece of egg crate to mount it on, an extention cord from the dollar store, a relay from Radio Shack and a 9-12 VDC charger for an old cell phone or similar device and you're into it less than 25 bucks. Works well. I splurge and spend 3 bucks for a hobby box to house the relay.
