You can do this lots of ways. Mount the cans higher than the sump, put a bulkhead in the bottom of them, run 1/4 inch RO tubing from the bulkheads to a T and then to a float valve mounted in the sump. Now this does not have any type of a backup to make sure you do not flood the tank if the float sticks for any reason, but it is cheap and will work.
You can also use some float switches and a pump to pump the water into the sump also.
