How IntelliTank works
IntelliTank brings together your tank, well pump, home Wi-Fi, and phone—so you can know what is happening with your water system from almost anywhere.
One connected water system
Depending on your product selection, IntelliTank has three or four core components working together to protect your water supply.
Cistern applications
IntelliTank can monitor a below-ground cistern by mounting the Tank Unit on a vent pipe. Its sensing leads extend into the tank to report water level directly to the IntelliTank app.
The same connected system helps you keep an eye on stored water, wherever your cistern is located.
The building blocks
Choose the system that fits your setup, then manage it in one familiar place.
01
The Tank Unit monitors the water level inside an above-ground storage tank or underground cistern. Choose a solar or battery-powered unit, then set the sensor leads at roughly 25%, 50%, and 75% of the tank height.
It checks for changes every four minutes and communicates with the Home Unit over a low-power, long-distance signal.
02
The Home Unit receives information from your Tank Unit and sends it securely to IntelliTank, so it can appear in the IntelliTank app and website.
During setup, connect it to your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi network—then it takes care of the connection in the background.
03
The Pump Control Unit lets you control your pump manually in the app or automatically from Tank Unit level indications.
Choose a pump run time in the app to help avoid overfilling your tank or cistern. Select the timing carefully for your particular system.
04
Your free IntelliTank App is the center of the system. Receive customized alerts, review water-level history, and see battery levels and water temperature from anywhere.
With Pump Control, you can also see pump activity, gallons per minute, voltage, and current—and turn the pump on or off remotely.
Setup made simple
After creating your IntelliTank account, most systems are ready in just a few straightforward steps.

Add batteries, confirm the connection, adjust the sensor leads, and install the unit on your tank.
Transmission & updates
Your Tank Unit is designed to stay connected without using more battery power than it needs.
The Tank Unit wakes to check for a water-level change. If nothing has changed, it goes back to sleep without sending an update.
The Tank Unit checks in with its current status so you can confirm the system is still connected and working properly.
