Claim 18:
19. A method comprising:
receiving a liquid in a container, the container comprising an outlet;
allowing the liquid to exit the container via the outlet; and
actuating a valve configured to control fluid flow from a main flow line based on a liquid level in the container to open the valve at a first liquid level within the container to allow fluid flow from the main flow line and to close the valve at a different liquid level 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, wherein a float is disposed within the container between upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface comprises an interface point for the float, the interface point is in contact with the float in response to the liquid reaching the first liquid level, a magnet is coupled to the float, the magnet actuates 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.
