Float switch controlled solenoid valve?

Does anyone still make these? I know lifereef used to but doesn't seem to have them anymore. I'm trying to plumb my top-off system, but I can't seem to find a valve that I can control with a float switch. Thanks in advance for any info you might have.

This is what I use, very happy with it so far. Accurancy is excellent.
I use to use just a float valve by Kent for years when just doing RO water for topoff. Never a problem in over 10 years. Now I topoff with Kalk and hence the solenoid.

Looks like they changed things some but I use the solenoid with a float switch, not with the level controller. I'm sure they would still sell the two as a pair without the controller.
