Tank Level Node

Know every tank's level before an animal system runs dry.

The challenge

Roof and sump tanks are out of sight until one runs dry or overflows.

Tank Level Node

Someone has to climb up and look, so levels are checked rarely. Tank Level Node fits through a hole in the tank lid, measures the water with ultrasound and reports over LoRaWAN, on its own battery and with no cables.


Water & Aquatic

Where it works

01

Roof & header tanks

Levels for the tanks behind animal houses and misting.

02

Sumps

Sump levels without lifting the lid.

03

Farm & RO storage

Storage tanks across the site in one view.

What it does

Ultrasonic level

Measures from above, with nothing in the water.

Faster while filling

Reports every minute while a tank fills, so a pump can be stopped in time.

Regular updates

Measures every 5 minutes; reports every 15 minutes or on a change.

Seal watch

An internal humidity sensor warns of a leaking seal.

Battery watch

Battery voltage is reported for a low-battery warning.

Magnet tap

Tap the magnet key to see the level in blinks, or to join the network.


How it works

1

Drill

Cut a 60 mm hole in the tank lid, or use an existing 2-inch boss.

2

Fit

Drop the node in, twist to lock and tap the magnet to join.

3

Read

Levels arrive over LoRaWAN, faster while the tank fills.

Why teams choose it

No cables

LoRaWAN radio and its own battery.

Quick to fit

Drops into a 60 mm hole and twists to lock.

Levels at a glance

Every tank in the app as a percentage.

No dry runs

See low tanks before systems fail.
