Introducing Gallagher Wireless Water Level Monitoring Systems

Gallagher's water monitoring systems offer a complete yet simple solution for monitoring and managing water and other fluids. Gallagher's water level monitoring systems are characterised by their ease of installation and operation and offer complete peace of mind by providing an e

arly warning if water levels start to change unexpectedly.

How the Gallagher Wireless Water Level Monitoring System Works

1. The Level Sensor accurately measures the liquid level in the tank based on pressure. The Tank Unit sends the collected information wirelessly to the display unit.

2. Your Display Unit shows how much liquid is left in the tank, saving you the time and effort of visiting the tank or water source.

3. An optional Wireless Pump Controller gives you remote control of the pump to ensure tank levels are maintained as required.

4. The system’s range can be extended with the use of a Long-Range Antenna and Active Repeater.
