[APD] Sprinkler System auto-shut off valve?

["Christopher Ferrell" <ferrell_chris at hotmail_com>]

Has anyone used an automatic sprinkler system shut off valve?  They have 
different types at Lowe's/Home Depot that all are around $10-$15 and run off 
of 24V.  Are these pretty good for using inside a house for an auto-top off 
system?  (no leaking, etc)

I was looking at these over some other, smaller solenoids mainly because the 
are running on 24 V instead of 120V - something I'm not super-comfortable 
with going through a little-bitty float switch with small lead wires inside 
my sump.  (Electrocution isn't much fun)

Outside of this suggestion, what other solenoids have people used?  Have 
people used replacement parts for ice markers or dishwasher inflow valves or 
just used the gas/liquid solenoids?
