Water flow monitoring

Know exactly how much water is moving on your farm.

A sensor fits to your pipeline and sends your flow data to the FarmSense app, updated every 6 minutes. Know exactly what's moving, without ever driving out to check.

NZ farmers talk about FarmSense water tank and flow monitoring Watch the farmer story

“Previously, I relied on a float gauge, which was often unreliable and left me scrambling when tanks ran dry. Now, I receive real-time alerts for any issues, such as pumps not running or leaks. This proactive approach has saved me invaluable time and effort.”

“Recently, I had two leaking troughs at the same time, and the system alerted me immediately, giving me a crucial window to address the problem before it escalated. I can check tank levels and water flow right from my phone, no matter where I am.”

A line running when it shouldn't be, And no way to know until it's cost you.

The old ways
  • Walking lines to check for leaks

    Time lost walking pipelines, every single day.

  • Burst pipes found a week too late

    Thousands of litres gone before anyone notices.

  • A pump running dry

    Burnt out before anyone's there to switch it off.

with farmsense
  • Flow rates on your phone, continuously

    Check every line with your morning coffee.

  • A text the moment flow turns unusual

    Set a threshold and catch problems early.

  • Fix it small, before it’s expensive

    Spot a leak the day it starts, not a week later.

Every litre, one view

Check your flow rates each morning alongside the rest of your farm, all in the one app. No more separate systems, no more piecing it together after the fact.

✓
Daily usage – track litres used day to day and spot the trend
✓
Hourly usage – see when water's being used across the day
✓
Real time flow – watch litres per minute as it happens, so you catch a line running when it shouldn't be

The Sensor Hub

Connects straight to your Sensor Hub

Once fitted, your Water Flow Sensor's cable connects straight into a Sensor Hub, which has a mobile sim card in it and relays data from up to four FarmSense Sensors via cellular.

✓ Cellular data connection
✓ Plug-and-play sensor connection
✓ SIM card included with every Sensor Hub 4G
Your Sensor Hub runs on a mobile plan. Each bundle includes the first 12 months at no additional cost.
