"Once again this is pretty much completely wrong. Water need only be pumped to a reservoir to supply a gravity feed system and rather than pressure controls you need only limit the size of the flow lines because they will only carry just so much water at one time. If the system was set up with a catch reservoir(and likely would be) then you could use a 1:10 ratio for pumping meaning that for every 1 minute you pump the water
up, it takes 10 minutes for gravity to bring it back. A simple float switch would trigger the pump same as your toilet does when it's low on water. Most of this stuff could be found in your average Home Depot at very low cost anyway.

Nonsense! You obviously do not understand the entire system. A continuous pump is required. It is also needed to force the liquid in and through the tubes. Gravity won't do it with two surface tanks. Dig a 20 ft deep hole you might pull off an on off cycle, but BEHL is not doing that.
