The [Munro BrainBox](https://www.ewingoutdoorsupply.com/66050155-brainbox-rainwater-harvesting-control-box) is the ideal solution, allowing your system to seamlessly switch to municipal water when needed. Here's how it works: The [BrainBox](https://www.ewingoutdoorsupply.com/66050155-brainbox-rainwater-harvesting-control-box) uses a series of float control switches to monitor the water level in your primary source. When there’s enough water available, the pump draws from the site-sourced water. If levels are too low, the system automatically switches to city water, and it switches back just as easily when the source water is replenished. Leveraging dual water sources offers significant benefits: - - **Cost Efficiency:** Reduce operating costs by minimizing reliance on municipal water. - **Flexibility:** Maintain irrigation capabilities, even under local water restrictions. - **Sustainability:** Alleviate pressure on municipal systems and lower your water bills. ##### **Lean on Ewing for Resources and Solutions** The Ewing team is ready to support all your project needs.
