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
My pond is raised, the advantage of the pressurised filter was that it
could be hidden away. I changed my hoses from 25mm-32mm last year,
everything became a bit stiffer, seemed to put more stress on the ends.
Now I've resorted to solvent cementing the hoses on.
