PaaniWhistle in the overhead tank pipe
Fit a cheap plastic whistle into the tank's overflow pipe. The moment the tank fills, the escaping water blows the whistle and you hear it from inside the house. Saves hundreds of litres a month and no motor gets burnt.

Hear the tank overflow before it starts
Tie the overflow pipe so it discharges onto a steel sheet or an upturned bucket instead of straight down the wall. The clatter tells the whole house the motor needs switching off, and it costs nothing.
