My wife's pond skimmer inlet sometimes becomes blocked by floating plants and the pump will empty the skimmer and suck air....expensive pump and I'd like to make it last...so...
1. How can i sense the water level in the skimmer?
Would the soil moisture sensor that demonicpicaxeguy worked out here:

be the thing?
Opinions?
2. I will obviously need this to be outside....how would you go about sealing a project box to protect it all from moisture......
3. What method of alert would you use? Siren...too many neighbours. Flashing ir beacon and reciever too sunny, rf?
This is going to be fun. Get to dust one of my 08Ms off.
