How do I know the level of a remote water tank without going there?

An ultrasonic sensor on the tank roof measures the distance to the water and sends it every few minutes over LoRaWAN to a 4G gateway. You see the level and its history in the app and get an alarm on low level or overflow.

Can I get an alarm when a well pump stops or runs dry?

Yes. A current clamp on the pump cable shows whether it is running and how much it draws, and the well probe shows the water level. Pump stopped, abnormal current or low well level trigger an alarm by push, email, SMS, WhatsApp or voice call.

Do I need LoRaWAN coverage in my town?

No. The kit brings its own LoRaWAN gateway, which sends the data over 4G. It only needs mobile coverage at the pump house.

How much does telemetry for a small town's water cost?

The basic kit (one tank, one well with its pump and the gateway) starts at €1,990 plus €39 a month, VAT and installation not included. Each additional tank or well starts at €590 plus €9 a month. There is also a no-upfront option at €99 a month over 36 months.

Does it replace a SCADA?

For a small system with a few tanks and wells, yes: it covers levels, pumps, alarms and remote control. Larger plants with PLCs can connect them over Modbus or OPC UA through our edge gateway and keep everything on the same platform.

Does it measure water quality?

Not in the basic kit. Chlorine and turbidity analysers can be connected to the platform, but they are specific equipment chosen for each installation.

Small town water supply

Stop driving to the tank to check the level. The alarm arrives before the town runs out of water.

Irrigation communities and farms

Wells, ponds and pumps spread over several kilometres, all on one map with their history.

Housing estates and private systems

Estates with their own tank and well get the same control as a water utility, without a SCADA.

What the kit monitors

The basic kit covers one tank, one well with its pump and the gateway. Add as many points as the network has.

Tank level

Ultrasonic sensor on the tank roof, IP67, battery powered. Alarm on low level and overflow.

Well level

Submersible pressure probe that tracks the water table and protects the pump from running dry.

Pump running and current

Clamp-on current sensor: running hours, starts and abnormal consumption without opening the wiring.

Remote start and stop

Relay controller to start or stop the pump from the app or by level rules, plus inputs for existing alarms.

4G LoRaWAN gateway

Installed in the pump house. A single gateway usually covers the tanks and wells of a whole village.

Rural water telemetry: how it works and what it costs

Many small water systems still depend on someone driving to the tank to check the level, and they only find out a pump has failed when the taps run dry. A telemetry kit solves this for a fraction of the cost of a traditional SCADA station.

What a rural water telemetry system does

Level: of every tank and well, with history and consumption trends.
Pump status: running or stopped, running hours, starts and current draw, to spot a pump that is failing before it stops.
Alarms: low level, overflow, pump stopped, pump running dry, power loss and loss of communication, by push, email, SMS, WhatsApp or voice call.
Remote control: start or stop the pump from the app, or let level rules fill the tank automatically.

LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or GSM?

Battery sensors on tanks and wells talk LoRaWAN to a gateway installed in the pump house, which has power. The gateway sends the data over 4G. That way the sensors last years on batteries, and you don't need public LoRaWAN coverage, which only exists in large cities.

NB-IoT sensors with their own SIM make sense for an isolated point far from any gateway. Traditional GSM telecontrol with a PLC is still the option for large stations, at a much higher cost per point.

What the kit costs

Option	Price	Includes
Basic kit	from €1,990 + €39/month	1 tank, 1 well with pump, 4G gateway, configured and ready to install
Additional point	from €590 + €9/month	Another tank or well on the same gateway
No upfront cost	€99/month over 36 months	Basic kit and platform included

Prices exclude VAT and installation, which a local plumber or electrician usually does in a morning. For a Spanish town council, the basic kit fits within a minor supply contract (under €15,000), without a tender.

Who installs it

The tank sensor is fixed to the roof and the well probe is lowered on its cable. The only electrical work is the pump's relay and current clamp, which the installer who already maintains the pump can do. We send the kit configured, and the platform is ready the day it is switched on. Integrators and installers can also resell it under their own brand: LoRaWAN platform for integrators.
