Self stopping water fill nozzle?

   / Self stopping water fill nozzle? #21  
1/4" inlet would take forever to fill a 55 gal drum

Does not take me all that long but he can set it up days before if he really wished to do so. I had systems where they were always connected to the supply, others where only when filling.

Magnets, power supplies, solenoid valves, etc all to devise a way to fill a 55 gal drum with water? IMHO you need to keep it simple and reasonable cost. I'm thinking that CurlyDave's suggestion of a mechanical sprinkler timer at the faucet inlet to the hose is worth considering. No offense intended, just wondering if it's really worth all the time and effort to you? :)

Nothing simpler than a float valve - lots of various ones out there too.

I would agree with that, although the OP had a concern that his water pressure was too high to get a good shutoff with a float valve.
