Actually this can be done with a simple relay and 2 float switches. Many of us a simple "latching" circuit to run our top-offs.

The circuit is called a "latching relay circuit" and does not need any type of logic or other components (maybe a diode to protect the relay coil from iductive spikes).

A search here or on google will provide you with plenty of examples. If you still need help let us know. (This question gets asked quite a bit)
