How much rainwater is left for irrigation
Underground or above-ground tank: the sensor shows how much water you have today and warns when the tank overflows or runs out. Your garden automation can use it directly.
The problem
What happens when nobody is looking
The pump runs dry
An empty tank with irrigation switched on means a burnt-out pump. The “minimum level” alert arrives before that happens, and through the integration you can simply lock the pump out.
Overflow in a downpour
When the tank gets close to full, the sensor notifies you: you have time to switch the outlet or start the soakaway pump.
Topping up from the mains
You know how much rainwater you have, so you top up only as much as needed. The history shows how the tank behaves over the season.
Installation
It hangs under the lid. Nothing touches the liquid.
The transmitter hangs under the tank lid, above the water surface. It measures the distance to the surface: no floats, no parts in the water, nothing to foul. In above-ground tanks (IBC containers, columns) it mounts in the inspection cap.
