Google start stop schematic and it will basically show what you need to do... Note both the top and bottom float switched must be mounted so that they both read closed when the vessel has no water.

Wire the bottom float switch to a common and normally open contact on the relay. Then take hot wire and splice it to one wire of the top float. Then take the other wire from the top float and connect it to the common relay point that you used for the bottom switch. On the normally open contact that is used with the bottom float take a wire to the coil contact for the relay, and the other coil contact goes to your neutral from the power supply.

All thats left is to use the other normally open contact on the relay to turn your solinoid off and on

This is the answer. I've done this exact job and the float switch manufacturer had wiring diagrams for all the various pump control options to show how to do it. OP can find one for his or use a generic one.
