My setup is in a 55 gal drum not a bucket, but I definitely have a shutoff on the pumps with the RO water and the "effluent" drums that water the front lawn. (A switch that floats, when it goes vertical - no water - it kills the power) If you're running it without being in attendance, you need something order to not damage the pump if it goes dry.

Oh, I have never had a mosquito problem, but the water gets used pretty fast, doesn't sit around for more than a day or so. So it's moving and getting refreshed.
