Tank and dam level
Know your tank levels without driving to them
Level sensors report to your dashboard and alert you before stock water or irrigation supply runs short.
Level sensors
- Ultrasonic for closed tanks
- Submersible for dams and bores
- Radar for open water
What it saves you
Fewer trips, fewer surprises
Trips
Trips to check tanks and dams that turn out to be fine.
Surprises
A low-level alert gives you time to cart water or switch supply.
Lost water
A sudden drop points to a leak or a stuck valve.
Choose a sensor
Three ways to read a level
| Sensor | Best for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonic | Closed tanks | Mounts on top and measures down to the surface without touching the water |
| Submersible | Dams, bores and deep tanks | Sits in the water and reads depth from pressure |
| Radar | Dams and open water | Measures down to the surface from above, with a longer range |
| Ultrasonic | Reads from 5 to 30 m. Accuracy 0.5 to 1%. |
|---|---|
| Submersible | Ranges from 0.5 m up to 200 m of water. Accuracy 0.1%, 0.25% or 0.5% of full scale, depending on range. IP68. |
| Radar | Reads up to 10, 30, 50 or 70 m. Accuracy ±3 mm. |
| Connection | RS485 on all three. |
Manufacturer figures. The right sensor and range depend on your tank or dam.
Where it is used
Stock, irrigation, mining and property
Stock water and irrigation storage on farms and vineyards, water storage on mine sites, and rainwater or stormwater tanks on commercial property.
Pair it with water quality. A level sensor tells you how much water you have. A conductivity (salinity) sensor tells you whether it is fit for stock or irrigation. Water quality monitoring
A note on location: a tank is often far from the weather station, so it normally gets its own hub. If it is close to a station you can share that hub.
