Water tank monitor for the home

Never run dry. Never drink unsafe.

TankSense clips onto your water tank and tells you the level and flags unusual changes in the water, so the first sign of trouble is a message, not an empty tap.

Three moments when guessing fails.

  • 6:40 am

    6:40 am, the shower sputters.

    Guessing the level means you learn the tank is low only when the pressure drops.

  • 4:15 pm

    4:15 pm, guests arrive and the tap coughs.

    Running out at bad moments is the usual cost of a refill you meant to book this week.

  • 9:00 pm

    9:00 pm, the water looks fine. Is it?

    Water that looks fine may still be unsafe. Clear water can carry contamination, and you cannot judge that by eye.

Three steps. No ladder.

  1. 1

    Clip it on

  2. 2

    It watches 24/7

    Measures level and water quality every few minutes, even when you are away.

  3. 3

    You get alerted

    A message on SMS or WhatsApp when the level is low or the water changes. Before the tap runs dry.

Setup takes minutes: clip it on, then choose the phones that get alerts.
