Tired of water crises striking at the worst possible moments? Whether you’re heading out for a family weekend or managing livestock on a remote farm, not knowing the state of your water tanks can lead to costly, time-consuming emergencies. But what if you could monitor your water levels anytime, anywhere — and get instant alerts before problems arise? Introducing Sensoru’s 4G Ultrasonic Solar-Powered Tank Level Sensors, designed to give you peace of mind and save you time, fuel, and hassle.
Know Your Level?
“Why is it always just when you’re about to leave for a family weekend that a critical water supply issue strikes?
Mom and the kids are already waiting in the packed car, but now you have to run off to sort out the water problem. An hour or two passes before you finally get to leave for Stilbaai. We have an easy solution for you!
4G Ultrasonic Solar-Powered Tank Level Sensors
Easy to install in under 15 minutes, our sensors measure your tank level every 30 minutes, giving you peace of mind wherever you are. It fits on plastic water tanks, and on open or closed concrete reservoirs.
How Does It Work?
The ultrasonic sensor, installed on top of the tank, emits high-frequency sound waves (ultrasonic waves) toward the surface of the liquid. These waves reflect off the water surface and return to the sensor. By measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to travel to and from the water surface, the sensor calculates the water level in the tank.
Measurements are taken every 30 minutes and uploaded to an online dashboard, accessible from your smartphone or PC. On the dashboard, you can set up low or high-level alerts for each tank. If the water level drops below the set point, an alert SMS is sent to your phone.
Save on Travel (Fuel) and Time (Labour)
Take, for example, a livestock farmer—just think how many hours and kilometres are spent checking all the dams every week, sometimes more than once. After inspecting the reservoirs and seeing that everything seems fine, the farmer heads home for lunch. But just as he leaves the camp, a pipe pops out, or an animal strolls in to chew on the pipeline.
Because the farmer checked all the reservoirs manually, he won’t return for another few days. By then, the situation is critical, and all other work must be stopped to attend to the water issue.
With our sensor, it’s like checking your dams 48 times a day—every single day—compared to physically checking them once a day with a bakkie.
“Every morning, after I get my coffee, the first thing I do is check all my dams on the web app. If the graph shows a downward trend, I send one of the farmhands to check the tank and do the repair. The repair is done long before it becomes critical,” – Overberg Dairy Farmer. “I don’t know how I previously farmed without these devices,” – Sheep Farmer, Swellendam.
About Us
Sensoru was born out of necessity. Sheep farmers needed a reliable way to monitor their water resources. A severe drought, combined with the mismanagement of a local water scheme that farmers had relied on since the early 1980s, put immense pressure on resources.
The problem? Existing technology was too expensive and primarily designed for irrigation. But when it comes to providing water for livestock, the needs are closer to those of household water supply—requiring cost-effective solutions.
Sensoru set out to develop affordable, efficient, and reliable tank monitoring devices that fit the needs and budgets of farmers. We are based in Overberg and devices are manufactured locally.
