Hill Country water well service

Well and storage tank monitoring

Watch your water from your phone. We install Ranchbot monitoring on wells and storage tanks, so you see your level, your pressure, and your pump, and get told the moment something changes.

Out here, a water problem tends to announce itself at the worst possible time: an empty storage tank on a holiday weekend, a tripped pump while you are away, or a slow leak that runs for days before anyone notices. Remote monitoring changes that. A small unit on your tank or well reports in around the clock, so you see trouble coming instead of discovering it at the kitchen sink.

A Hill Country wellhead monitored by TR Drilling

TR Drilling & Service installs and sets up Ranchbot monitoring on wells, storage tanks, troughs, and pumps. It reports over its own satellite connection, so it works on properties with no cell service and no internet, and it texts and emails you the moment a level, a pressure, or a pump does something it should not.

It is a natural fit for anyone who is not on the property every day, second homes, ranches, and rental properties, and for any owner who would rather catch a small issue early than pay for a no-water emergency.

What you get with Ranchbot monitoring

  • Your tank level, live. See exactly how much water you have, accurate to about one percent, from anywhere.
  • Instant alerts. A text and an email when the level runs low, drops fast, or a pump stops doing its job.
  • Works with no cell signal. It reports by satellite, so it covers the back of the ranch where a cellular device will not.
  • Remote pump control. Start and stop pumps from your phone, or automate them off the tank level.
  • Grows with the property. Add trough sensors, a flow meter, line pressure, or a rain gauge to the same dashboard.

Full visibility

What Ranchbot can monitor

Start with one unit on the tank or well and add sensors as you need them:

  • Storage tank level how much water you actually have, live, and accurate to about one percent.
  • Well water level so you can watch drawdown and recovery instead of guessing.
  • Pump control start and stop pumps from your phone, or run them automatically off tank level.
  • Flow and line pressure gallons per minute, with high and low alerts that catch a leak early.
  • Livestock troughs wireless trough sensors that report back to the main unit from up to three miles away.
  • Rainfall an optional tipping-bucket rain gauge on the same dashboard.

Stop guessing how much water is in the tank

Most Hill Country homes and ranches run off a storage tank, and most owners find out it is empty the same way: the tap runs dry. A tank monitor replaces the guesswork with a number on your phone.

  • See your level any time from the house, the truck, or another state.
  • Get told before you run out set a low-level alert and get a text and an email while there is still time to act.
  • Catch a leak or a stuck float a rapid-drop alert flags water going somewhere it should not.
  • Any tank we can reach poly, steel, concrete, or fiberglass, new or already in the ground.
Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is water well remote monitoring?

It is a small unit installed on your storage tank or well that reports live data on water level, pressure, flow, and pump activity to an app on your phone or computer. We install and set up Ranchbot monitoring so it keeps watch day and night and alerts you the moment something changes, so a small problem does not turn into a no-water emergency.

Do I need Wi-Fi or internet at the property?

No, and you do not need a cell signal either. Ranchbot reports over its own satellite connection, so it works on remote Hill Country properties with no internet and no cellular coverage. That makes it a strong fit for ranches, second homes, and back pastures where a cellular device would not report at all.

What can the system monitor?

It tracks pump power performance (voltage, amp draw, and run times), water level in wells, storage tanks, and chemical feed tanks, system pressure and flow rates, and motor temperature, vibration, and humidity. It can also provide remote control of pumps and valves. You see it all in one dashboard with system history and trends.

Will it alert me if something goes wrong?

Yes. You get a text or email the moment pressure drops, power is lost, or water levels change unexpectedly. Catching a failing pump or a dropping water level early is what saves you from a dry tap and a larger repair bill.

Who installs it, and is it hard to set up?

Our experienced team installs it, and it connects directly to your existing well system with no overhaul needed. Most installs are up and running in about an hour, and we show you how to use the dashboard before we leave.
