How to Install a Wireless Water Tank Level Sensor for Off-Grid Rainwater and Spring Systems6/4/2025 Welcome back to Base Camp WNC!
In this video, we're diving into something incredibly useful for anyone managing a rainwater harvesting system, spring-fed water system, or off-grid water storage setup — a wireless long-range water tank level indicator. If you've ever wondered how much water you have in your storage tank without climbing up or opening the lid, this solution is for you. 📡 Wireless Water Level Monitoring System Setup This remote water level sensor setup allows you to monitor your tank’s water level from inside your home or cabin, using a long-range wireless transceiver. Here’s a breakdown of the components and how we installed it:
🛠️ Custom-Built Weighted Tube for Stability We custom-built a tube to rest firmly at the bottom of the tank, filling the bottom 12 inches with concrete to keep it stable during vigorous fills. A float sensor drops inside the tube, protected from movement and turbulence. Drilled holes in the tube ensure it fills evenly with water so the pressure sensor works reliably. When the tank is near empty, the weighted pipe still ensures the sensor sits below the water intake line to avoid air suction into the pump — crucial for pump protection and system longevity. 🔧 Installation & Calibration Tips
🌧️ Why This Matters for Off-Grid Living If you rely on a remote tank for your water supply, knowing the water level at a glance is a game changer. Whether you’re managing a spring overflow, scheduling water delivery, or simply planning your usage, this wireless water tank sensor lets you stay in control — without guessing. I designed this system specifically for durability, simplicity, and accuracy in off-grid conditions. And if I can get it up and running, trust me—it’s accessible for just about anyone! 💬 Have questions about setting up your own water level monitoring system? Drop them in the comments.
