I had just come across the sub and I didn't really scroll down otherwise I would have realized it's pretty quite. It's too bad. I run an aeroponics set up so I already use pumps.
I use a hx711 with load cells and esphome to get water levels in my reservoir. The pumps I use are non submersible. The main thing, they are 12v and I run the everything from a pc power supply.
