Borewatch
Borewatch is a low-power data logger for groundwater, boreholes, and environmental applications. Install directly inside a 2-inch pipe for discreet, vandal-resistant operation.
Key Features
Discreet Internal Pipe Mounting
Installs directly inside a 2-inch (50mm) borehole or pipe, no external pole or enclosure needed.
Long-Term Deployment
Up to 5 years of battery life for remote, low-maintenance installations.
Proactive Alerts & Monitoring
Automatic SMS and email alarms for water levels, pH, salinity, or other sensor parameters.
Flexible Data Reporting
Schedule CSV reports and integrate with backend systems via HTTP, FTP, or optional DNP3.
Compact & Durable
49mm stainless steel IP68-rated housing designed for harsh environments.
Multi-Sensor Compatibility
Supports SDI-12, Modbus RS-485, analog, and digital sensors.
How It Works
Deploy & Install
Insert Borewatch into the borehole and connect sensors.
Connect & Configure
Set up in minutes via Wi-Fi (HLink) or Ethernet (LANlink), no software required.
Monitor & Report
Automate data collection, alarms, and reporting over mobile networks.
Analyse & Optimise
Use CSV reports for environmental tracking and compliance.
Applications
Continuous water level, pH, salinity, and temperature monitoring in boreholes and aquifer monitoring networks.
Monitor groundwater levels and extraction rates for irrigation compliance and sustainable water management.
Discreet pipe-mounted installation with no external enclosure. Vandal-resistant operation for long-term unattended deployment.
Simplify Your Borehole Monitoring
No bulky enclosures, poles, or complex installations. Borewatch delivers a discreet, pipe-mounted solution pre-configured for reliable groundwater and borehole monitoring.
