Yesterday the hose from my pump to pressurised filter came of putting

Fortunately I was about and was in time to switch of the pump before
all the water had gone.
I was wondering if anyone had come across a device to cut off the pump
if the water level got too low?

Can't help with a device, but in addition to normal hose clips, my pipes are
also secured with cable ties to the body of the filter. Filter also stands
on a slope to the pond, so any leakage runs back in. Well, that's the theory
anyway
