In water-scarce South Africa, knowing how much water you have (and how fast it’s being used) helps you plan, save, and avoid surprises. That’s where tank level monitors come in. These handy devices make remote monitoring of water tanks simple, showing you exactly what’s happening inside your tank, anytime, from anywhere.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the key features and benefits of the JoJo Tank Level Monitor, plus a simpler mechanical option for those who prefer a manual check. By the end, you’ll have a clear idea of which monitor is best for your needs, whether you’re managing a home, farm, or a full water system.
What Is a Water Tank Level Indicator?
A tank level indicator is a device that shows you how much water is currently in your tank, without the need to climb up and check manually. JoJo’s smart Tank Level Monitor makes this even easier by using radar technology and app-based connectivity to give you real-time readings, right on your phone.
The monitor is installed on top of your tank and uses radar pulses to measure the water level with millimetre precision. It’s great for rainwater harvesting systems, back-up tanks, or everyday use.
Why Remote Monitoring Is a Game-Changer
With JoJo’s IoT water tank monitoring tools, you don’t need to climb a ladder or guess how much water you’ve got left. Everything is visible from your phone, thanks to the JoJo Monitor app.
- Save time: Check tank levels in seconds – no manual inspections needed.
- Avoid waste: Detect leaks and abnormal usage fast.
- Stay informed: Get real-time alerts when levels drop too low.
- Use water smarter: Understand usage patterns and optimise how and when you use your water.
This is especially helpful in areas where water supply can be unpredictable, or if you’re managing tanks across multiple properties.
Smart Connectivity with the JoJo Monitor App
Once your device is installed, everything happens through the JoJo Monitor App (available for Android and iOS).
You’ll be able to:
- View your tank’s current water level in real time
- See historical usage data
- Get alerts when levels drop too low
- Monitor battery status
- Share access with other users
How it connects:
- Bluetooth: Used during setup, or when you’re close to the tank for live readings.
- Sigfox: Enables remote monitoring from anywhere. As long as your tank is in a Sigfox coverage area, your monitor can send data to your app even when you’re not nearby.
Before installing, you can scan the QR code on the packaging to check if your location is covered by Sigfox.
