When the Low Float rises, CR1 turns on to indicate Not Low. On the 5V section, the circuit is activated if the NC contact of CR1 is true (Not-Not Low, which means Low) and the High Float is Not High (needs to be NC) then the solenoid is powered along with CR2. The Low is sealed in by the CR2 contact so that when the tank starts to fill and the Low Float causes CR1 to change state, the valve stays open. Once the High Float activates, it opens the circuit, closing the valve and removing the CR2 latch.
