Thank youThen just replace the sensors leads with brand new wire as before. If they last four months as you stated then just replace every four months. Personally I would go with SS probes and see if they last.

That's what I had in mind, however, they are sensitive for controlling water levels on the order of maybe 25 inches from small load to large load. To use a washing machine level sensor you would probably have to modify the spring to get the response you want. I still think a pressure gauge is the easiest way to go. No maintenance, no power. The ONLY thing I could think of would be a float switch at the top to shut off the pump - that is IF the tank is filled via a pump. If it's filled by a valve then you'd need an electric valve to shut the water flow off before the tank could overflow.Every Washing-Machine ever made has a cheap, reliable, Air-Pressure-Switch for controlling the Fill-Level.
Did you mean diameter? You said radius. That'd be a 10 foot diameter tank. 10' diameter x 6' depth = 471 cubic feet.A six foot high tank (assuming a 5 foot radius) would hold 141 cubic feet of water.
The TS mentioned 6ft and 4000L closer to 5 ft in diameter if roundDid you mean diameter? You said radius. That'd be a 10 foot diameter tank. 10' diameter x 6' depth = 471 cubic feet.
(10' ÷ 2)•Pi•R^2 = 78.5 sq. ft. That times 6' = 471 cu.ft. That'd be over 3500 gallons. In my house that's a winter month's supply of water for two people.
Guess I overlooked that detail.The TS mentioned 6ft and 4000L closer to 5 ft in diameter if round
