Automatic Water Tank Filling - Arduino

Automatic water tank filling from well. Uses 2 float switches to indicate when water tank it's full and one that check the if there is water in the well. 3 led to indicate; power state, pump state and tank full.
Float switches on fritzing are just switches...
Supplies






1 x Arduino Pro mini
1 x Barrel Jack
1 x 5v Relay
2 x Water level Sensor (switch)
3 leds
3 resistors (220 ohms)
