Here is another suggestion, avoiding emptying the supply tube and having the 
associated clearing of air problems.
It involves some simple circuitry and a valve near the nozzle. 
Suppose you have a float in the tank with a magnet on a stick, all being guided 
by a tube and that you sense the lower and upper position by the magnet closing 
a contact, cheep to get hold of used in alarm systems.
Then on an existing manual valve you use a linear actuator, (you get cheap ones 
used for driving a satelite dish), to drive the valve open and shut as 
required, using micro switches at each extreme end to indicate stop driving 
when fully shut or fully open. The closing speed will be slow enough to prevent 
any "waterHammer" action.
Best of luck.

Another possible method which might be useful if you want relatively
short bursts of power and happen to like loud noises would be an
overbalancing bucket arrangement.
