Water level sensor – Ellenex, Farm Tasker

Farm Tasker's tank monitor provides farmers with an accurate snapshot of their water levels from anywhere.

Benefits

The water level sensor reduces how often tanks need to be checked, lowering labour and driving costs.

Through the online dashboard, the condition of pumps and water leaks can be identified early. This reduces the risk of water leaks and livestock going without water.

Water loss events can otherwise go undetected for days, with serious and costly consequences. 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 tank monitor uses a hydrostatic water level sensor, suspended at the bottom of the tank. It measures water levels by sensing the pressure of the water above.

The unit transmits water level data to the online server 3 to 4 times per day. The data can be viewed at any time through the Ellenex online dashboard or iOS app, which display the latest level readings and a graph of levels over time.

You can customise the settings to receive text message or email alerts when the water level drops, including the rate of fall.
