How sewer level monitoring works

Get accurate, real-time sewer level data from the field to your screen - without manual checks or complex setup - with sewer level monitoring.

Our products

1. Install the hardware

Mount a Captis data logger with a radar or float sensor, or Spectra, an integrated radar, into the manhole or pit.

2. Data is transmitted

The device sends water level data over CAT-M1 or NB-IoT, using internal or external antennas for reliable signal in difficult locations.

3. See alerts & trends

View live alerts and historical trends in Kallipr Kloud, or integrate seamlessly with your existing SCADA or platform.

Features

Why smarter sewer monitoring matters

With ageing infrastructure, growing populations, and unpredictable weather, overflows and infiltration are on the rise. Our monitoring solution gives councils and utilities real-time visibility to act early, reduce I&I, and avoid costly disruptions, without invasive installs.

Real-time alerts

See rising levels before they become overflows with alerts sent via SMS or email.

Installs in under 30 minutes

No confined space entry for most sites, and custom-made flexible mounting brackets for easy installs.

Long battery life and minimal maintenance

10 years of battery life (depending on transmission frequency) - our devices are field-ready, long-lasting, and designed to minimise costly truck rolls and ongoing maintenance.

Connects anywhere

Kallipr’s high sensitivity market-leading communications technology ensures devices can connect even in the toughest to reach locations

Real-time data from radar sensors or float switches detect rising water levels early, allowing utilities to act before an overflow occurs, reducing environmental and public health risks.
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.
