Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
a container shaped to receive a liquid;
an inlet configured to allow the liquid to enter the container;
an outlet configured to allow the liquid to exit the container;
a valve configured to control fluid flow from a main flow line, the valve actuated to open at a first liquid level of the liquid within the container to allow fluid flow from the main flow line and to close at a different liquid level of the liquid within the container to prevent fluid flow of the main flow line, the valve controlling fluid flow from the main flow line independent of the flow of the liquid in the container out of the outlet, the different liquid level is at least a predefined distance higher in the container than the first liquid level, a timing during which the valve is open based at least partially on the predefined distance;
a float disposed within the container between upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface comprising an interface point for the float, the interface point in contact with the float in response to the liquid reaching the first liquid level; and
a magnet coupled to the float, the magnet actuating the valve based on a position of the float within the container such that a distance between the first liquid level and the different liquid level is defined at least partially based on a distance between the upper and lower surfaces.
