not sure what you mean about pump turning off, i have a tap on my tank outlet which when the water gets low in my tank i just turn it closed while going to next job to stop any water flowing back into the tank from the pump which works for me.

you could DIY something using a relay and a float with a micro switch.

but it would just be easier to park the right way for you tank outlet to always have water.
also i have a hose inside my tank so that it gets the water at the bottom, below the outlet height.
