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.
