Dear Forum,

I recently joined this forum, and writing for the first time. I like DIY activities, both for hobbies both to fix and repair stuff in my house, but my knowledge into electrical field are very limited.

Here the problem:
I am doing a system for the recycle of rain water. Briefly, the water from the pipe from the roof is collected in an outdoor tank of 1000 liter. From there, with the help of a small pump, water is pumped to an indoor tank of 30 liter, situated in the bathroom just above the toilette. The aim is to use the recycled rain water for the toilette. When the toilette water is used, the toilette tank is re-filled with the water from the indoor tank. When the indoor tank is empty, a water level sensor sends a signal to the pump, which automatically switches on and pumps water from the 1000 L outdoor tank into the 30 L indoor tank. As soon as the indoor tank is full, the same sensor sends a stop signal to the pump. A second sensor works in case of emergency.
In attachment the electrical scheme. However I was forced to buy sensors different from those suggested in the scheme. For the main sensor, a picture in attachment 2.
The main sensor is double, composed by a sensor for low level which gives the start signal to the pump, and a second sensor for high level which gives the stop signal to the pump; that means there are 4 cables from the sensor (2 blacks and 2 reds).

So I need help to modify the electrical scheme, to fit the main sensor (with 4 cables, INSTEAD of 2 in the scheme) and an emergency sensor, with 3 output cables, a red one, a blue one and a green one (instead of 2 in the scheme).

Can someone help me to adapt the scheme I have to the sensors I got ?
(I can explain in more details, or show more pictures, if needed)

Thanks a lot in advance !

Paolo
