Don't be left with an empty tank
Water Monitoring System Overview

 

The water monitoring system is a new solution to monitoring your water tank and well. For years people could only measure what’s inside the tank by using long stick this was dangerous and inconvenient.  This new innovation makes monitoring your well easy by wirelessly transmitting data back to a computer or cell phone of your choice. It will have the customer input the height and the distance around the tank to decide the parameters. Then the ultrasonic sensor will use the data to compare the height of the water inside the tank. The flow sensors  will be calculating the flow of water entering and exiting the tank. Putting all these sensors together will determine the time till the tank is empty and provide warning signs when problems occur such as a bad pump or a leaking pipe. The self-sustaining warning system will have two shutoff valves that will stop flow if the tank has exceeded a high limit or if the water is below a low limit.

 

Enjoy your water

 

We use our water in so many different ways farming, hygiene, drinking and electricity. We need to save as much water as possible by identifying leaks and monitoring our usage.

Who is coming who is going?

 

We will be computing the frequency and dividing it by the clock to get an accurate reading of Liters per minute.

The flow rate will be calculated by counting the number of clock cycles between each rising edge.
