Water supply
Water Supply Monitor
Checks that the water actually arrived, not just that a pump was told to run.
The challenge
A pump can be switched on and still deliver nothing.
Water Supply Monitor
Misters, tanks and RO plants are automated, but automation usually trusts the command. If a supply fails, a system can log 'done' while an animal's tank quietly runs dry. The Water Supply Monitor measures flow, tank level and water quality on each line and compares what was commanded with what arrived.
Water & Aquatic
Where it works
RO water plants
Flow, level and TDS on the systems that feed animal water.
Misting supplies
Proof that misters actually got water.
Header & holding tanks
Tank levels behind every automated system.
What it does
Commanded vs actual
Compares each 'run' command with the water that actually flowed.
Flow on every line
Inline flow sensors on RO and tank lines.
Tank levels
Level sensing on the tanks the systems draw from.
Water quality
TDS readings on the RO supply.
Supply status
Shows whether each supply is delivering.
Monitoring only
It watches and reports; it does not switch pumps.
How it works
Fit
Add flow and level sensors to the RO and tank lines.
Compare
The monitor checks each command against the water that arrived.
Act
Staff see which supply failed and fix it before tanks run dry.
Why teams choose it
Trust your automation
Catches the silent failures timers miss.
Protects animals
A failing supply is spotted before tanks run dry.
One view
Every supply line in one place.
Faster fixes
Points to the line that failed.
