IBC Tote fill valve
Home Improvement Asked on May 30, 2021
I am repurposing a 275 gallon IBC Tote as a water cistern. I want for it to fill automatically and stop when full like a toilet fill valve. Is there anything that I can adapt to the lid?
What should I look for?

You could probably use a common fill valve with a float. If you are anywhere near an agricultural area they will have these in hardware stores and feed stores, for automatically filling animal watering troughs:

Purchase a lid with threaded holes, or drill a hole in the lid you have, install piping in the form of a "J" and put a toilet fill valve (or other float valve) on the lower end of the J, being sure to choose one that fits though the opening into the tank. Remember that you will need to vent the tank as well, so you might want a lid with two holes, and a screened cover for the second hole. Your piping will require unions so that you can screw the lid onto and off of the tank, then connect the piping.
