Water flow monitor – Ellenex, Farm Tasker
Farm Tasker's water flow monitor provides an accurate and reliable snapshot of farm water flow.
Benefits
The water flow monitor quickly detects water leaks and identifies potential leaks from trends over time.
Through the online interface, the water supply can be checked remotely. This reduces the risk and consequences of livestock going without water.
Major water supply issues often go undetected for days or weeks. Monitoring devices do not eliminate the need to inspect tanks and troughs, but they reduce how often checks are required.
How it works
The Farm Tasker is connected to the pulse-unit on a water meter, either from the water main or a tank. It transmits water flow data to the online server at set intervals, 3 to 4 times per day.
The data can be viewed at any time through the Ellenex dashboard or iOS app, which display the latest flow readings and a graph of flows over time.
You can set customisable alerts for email or text message notification of critical events.
