How septic tank monitoring works

Install rugged, battery- and solar-powered devices to track septic tank levels, send alerts, cut emergency callouts and stop overflows before they cost you.

Our products

1. Install the hardware

Place a radar sensor inside the tank and mount a Captis Recharge telemetry device (with solar panel) above ground.

2. Data is transmitted

The radar sensor measures level every five minutes. The Captis unit aggregates and sends data via NB-IoT or Cat-M1 every 15 minutes.

3. See alerts & trends

All data goes to Kallipr Kloud, where you see live levels, historical trends, alerts, and insights.

Features

Why utilities use septic tank monitoring

Modernising septic management is vital as networks expand, regulations tighten, and oversight grows. Our system gives you:

  • Real-time alerts before tanks reach overflow

  • Automated scheduling instead of guesswork

  • Reduced labour, fuel and callout costs

  • Fast installs with minimal site work

  • Scalability across rural and remote sites

View your tank levels live

Real-time alerts

Receive SMS, email or view via a traffic light dashboard when tanks are approaching capacity.

Installs in under 20 minutes

Many installs complete in under 20 minutes.

Long battery life and minimal maintenance

Devices last years in the field using solar panels, requiring minimal maintenance.

Reliable connectivity in remote areas

Use NB-IoT / Cat-M1 networks; fallback connectivity logic ensures data delivery.

Frequent level readings trigger alerts before tanks reach capacity. Maintenance teams can act early, schedule the right truck, and stop overflows before they happen.
No. The Captis Recharge unit is battery-backed and solar-powered, designed for easy installation in remote or off-grid locations without trenching or wiring.
Kallipr devices use market-leading technology to connect via low-power wide-area network technologies (CAT-M1 or NB-IoT) networks globally. Transmission and measurement intervals are fully configurable, letting you balance data accuracy, frequency, and latency with battery life. All data is encrypted, with built-in security features that ensure end-to-end integrity - from device to cloud to the way you use it.
With near real-time alerts from Captis and Spectra devices, utilities can pro-actively prevent blockages and overflows - avoiding costly emergency callouts, regulatory fines, and infrastructure damage, leading to significant long-term savings.
Installation can be as quick as 10 minutes, and does not require confined space entry for many sites. The ease of install minimises disruption to operations and significantly reduces the cost of deployment.
Where data also needs to be sent to additional systems, Kallipr hardware supports multiple endpoint configuration, which is widely used by utilities to route data or alarms directly to SCADA or analytics environments.
Yes, the patent-pending battery technology allows for quick, tool-free battery replacement. It can be done in under 30 seconds and ensures your operations are back up and running as quickly as possible.
