submarine ballast tank
Thank you for your reply and the information.
Looks like I need to do some experimenting.

Would a screen washer pump provide enough pressure to force water in to a sealed pressure tank? Somehow I doubt the theory.
Id try it out in the bath first before putting anywhere near a sub.
This way you wont need to worry about the switch wiring till the ballast system works properly.
You may need to fit a geared pump motor to get over the pressure effect, or it will simply flip the rubber paddles inside the pump element and stop the pump from working once it reaches a certain pressure, same happens if a washer system blocks on a car.

I want to control a sealed ballast tank with a solenoid valve and none reversible windscreen washer pump.
Can I use two micro switches operated with a servo ?
How do I connect the switches to control from one channel to submerge the boat with the aid of the pump, hold ballast In off position and to surface without the pump working.
