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 tank, your well, and your rainfall, 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 and storage tanks. 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 your water 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 or drops faster than it should.
  • Works with no cell signal. It reports by satellite, so it covers the back of the ranch where a cellular device will not.
  • Your well level too. Add a downhole sensor and watch drawdown and recovery through the season instead of guessing.
  • Grows with the property. Add a rain gauge or a full weather station, with five wired ports and room for ten wireless sensors.

Our process

How it works

We assess your system

We look at your tank, well, pump, and pressure setup and recommend what is worth monitoring.

We install and set it up

Our crew mounts the unit, places the sensors, and gets it reporting. No overhaul of your existing system.

You connect your phone

Your dashboard is ready on your phone or computer, with the alerts set the way you want them.

We keep watch

The system reports day and night, and we help you read the trends and act before small issues grow.

Two ways to start

Pick the monitor that fits

Ranchbot Lite: watch the tank

One monitor, one storage tank. It reads your tank level around the clock and texts you when the level runs low or drops fast. One sensor port. Tank level is all it does, and all it costs.

Right for you if you have one storage tank and just want to know it is full.

Ranchbot Well Monitor: watch everything

The hub. Everything the Lite does for your tank, plus the water level inside your well, and a rain gauge or full weather station if you want one. Five wired ports and room for ten wireless sensors mean it grows with the property.

Right for you if you want the well itself watched, or more than one thing.

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.
  • Rainfall an optional tipping-bucket rain gauge on the same dashboard.
  • Weather step up to a full weather station at the wellhead if you want more than rain.

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 your water levels live 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.
