Lift Station Monitoring
Catch pump failures before they become overflows
Monitor wet well levels, predict pump failures, and control your pumps automatically, all from a single device.
Sewer Level Monitoring
A failing pump can become an overflow
Most lift station operators run reactively. A pump fails with no warning, the wet well fills, and you receive a complaint, a spill, or a call from the regulator. Across a network of remote stations, there is no live picture of what is actually happening until something goes wrong.
This ends up costing in emergency callouts, the environmental clean-up, and an SSO on the record that sits in front of the EPA and your consent decree obligations.
You do not need more alarms after the fact. You need to see a failure coming and stop the overflow before it starts.
Monitor, predict, and control from one device.
Kallipr puts a single, rugged device on the wet well and gives you three things at once.
1. Monitor pump operation and wet well level
See wet well level in real time and confirm your pumps are cycling on and off the way they should. Track pump run-time and pump starts, and get high-level and overflow alerts the moment a station starts to behave differently.
2: Predict pump failure
Vibration sensing reads the health of the pump itself, so a pump trending toward failure is flagged while there is still time to act. You move from breakdown response to planned maintenance, and you stop the failure that would have caused the overflow.
3: Control the pumps
This is where monitoring becomes action. Combined with the Kallipr Radar Sensor and up to 3 digital outputs, the Captis S2 can switch pumps on and off automatically at the wet well levels you set. That is up to 3 pumps, each with its own level setpoint, controlled from the same device that monitors the station. It also gives you a resilient fallback if a legacy controller or RTU fails.
How lift station monitoring works
Get real-time wet well level and pump run-time data from the field to your screen, without manual check.
1. Install the hardware
Fit a Captis S2 to monitor pump run-time and pump starts via a pulse input, and add a radar level sensor (or Spectra integrated radar) in the wet well.
2. Data is transmitted
The device sends wet well level and pump data over Cat-M1 or NB-IoT, using internal or external antennas for reliable signal in underground wet wells.
3. See alerts & trends
View live wet well level, pump status and historical trends in Kallipr Kloud, or integrate with your existing SCADA or platform.
What our customers say
The Kallipr devices were installed in a fraction of the time we expected, and the long battery life and low servicing needs mean lower total cost of ownership for the city over the years ahead.
You can install this against the flow or with the flow. Two mounting bolts. Very simple. I have only good things to say.
We’re getting real insight into how our network behaves in the field, not just in models. It’s helping us respond faster, target our investment, and give our teams the clarity they need to act.
This project definitely benefited our operations by letting us remotely monitor key data points and troubleshoot issues in our water management system
Built for the wet well
The Captis S2 Multi is a single device that monitors and controls the station:
- Up to 3 digital outputs to switch up to 3 pumps at independent level setpoints
- Kallipr Radar Sensor for non-contact wet well level, immune to fouling and grease
- Vibration sensing for pump health and early failure warning
- Cat-M1 and NB-IoT connectivity for reliable transmission from underground
- 10+ year field-swappable battery
- IP68 rated for full submersion, built for the conditions inside a wet well
Lift station monitoring for SSO prevention and EPA compliance
Every prevented overflow is one less SSO in front of the EPA and one less mark against your consent decree. Kallipr gives you the wet well level and pump data to demonstrate proactive management under your NPDES permit, and the reliability record to defend it. Monitoring and control programs like this are eligible for funding through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
