VIRTU-WELL™

 

WATER WELL and WATER TANK TELEMETRY

 

 

It's been over a week since you have been able to check all of your water wells and tanks.  Your most distant well is 100 miles away.  How do you know if your livestock are getting enough water?

 

There are gauges and monitors to measure water levels, pump status, and water flow.  But, how do you know if you have enough water 100 miles away, when you are busy at another site?  How long can you afford to wait?  How long can your livestock go without water?

 

There is an answer -- And it saves you money!

 

Virtu-Well™ allows you to wirelessly monitor pumps, tank levels, and water flow.  Virtu-Well™ sends alarms via digital pager and email within five minutes of an event.  Importantly, all systems are solar powered, for installation simplicity and superior reliability.  However, they can be custom configured for AC power.  Moreover, Virtu-Well™ requires no special software.  Anyone with Internet access can monitor, update and control their Virtu-Well™ systems.

 

 

Virtu-Well Basic™ is a cost effective entry level solution for sending a low water level alarm for critical water tanks.  A rancher or farmer can monitor tank status from virtually anywhere in the world.

 

Virtu-Well Silver™ is a reliable and cost effective solution for monitoring critical water tank levels.  A rancher or farmer can monitor tank status from virtually anywhere in the world.  Alarms can be sent from up to two water level sensors.   In addition, Virtu-Well Silver™ offers automated and remote (see note 1) pump control.

 

Virtu-Well Gold™ is ideal for customers needing a high performance solution for sensing pump fault status, and measuring two tank levels. In addition, Virtu-Well Gold™ offers automated and remote (see note 1) pump control, as well as the ability to remotely measure total gallons of water pumped each day.

 

Virtu-Well Blue™ is our top of the line product for customers requiring a robust, high-capacity, solution.  Virtu-Well Blue™ allows customers to measure two levels in a primary tank, a single level in up to six secondary tanks, water flow, pump status, as well as generate a temperature alert alarm when ambient air or water temperatures plummet below a preset level.  In addition, Virtu-Well Blue™ provides automated and full remote (see note 2) pump control.
