PTLevel Wireless Tank Level Monitor; How it Works
- The PTLevel is mounted on the top of your tank where it is connected to the provided 13′ of 5/32″ tubing
- The other end of that small tubing is then connected to the weighted “Pressure Chamber”
- When the Pressure Chamber is lowered into your tank, the liquid pushes up into the chamber and creates an air pocket
- That air pocket is then read by the PTLevel using a smart, power saving-schedule
- The data is sent to our online services over the long range wireless link and then using your WiFi internet connection, where it is processed into a level percentage, alerts, and more.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As with all tech, upon installation, there is a learning curve. As another review mentioned, During initial install, Wifi did not immediately connect. I traced my issue and determined that the issue was the way I had configured my home network. I had an original router and then had added a second 'Orbi' router \ satellite to extend a second WiFi signal for wider range. That was the problem. I connected PTLevel receiver to the primary router and instantaneously made the WiFi connection.
My 2 2500 gallon tanks are up the side of a mountain about 500 feet from receiver. Transmitter had no problem linking with receiver. Signal is excellent.
Upon install the tanks were essentially empty. I had only 6 inches of water in my tanks when I installed it. In the instructions it tells you that you can only calibrate if tanks at 20% full or better however when I dropped the weighted pressure chamber in tank the app registered 7% full. The tanks are 84 inches tall. 6 inches is 7% so out of the box at time of initial installation, the PTLevel reading was accurate.
I live on a road where most of my neighbors have a similar set up. The houses are down on the flat space and the water tanks are installed up the side of the mountain for gravity feed. None of my neighbors have monitoring devices in place. We have discussed a DIY solution using 'arduino' tech but that entailed too much diy set up.
When I discovered PTLevel I was very encouraged. Now that I have it installed, I never have to climb the trail up to the tanks and I can see exactly how full the tanks are. I am thrilled with the PTLevel system
I am going to do a "PTLevel show and tell" for my neighbors so they can resolve their tank level issues.
In summary, I found the PTLevel to be 5 stars in quality of manufacturing, innovative design, packaged instructions, online help and customer support.
Well done PTLevel, I now can check my water tank level anytime rather than making a hard climb up the hill to check the tanks every few days
My knees thank you
BUT, after a couple of months, the readings again were way off, and sure enough, the tube was again waterlogged. This has repeatedly happened every 2-4 months ever since. One time it registered 18 % when the tank was full! The problem seems to occur every time we get a deliver of water - i.e. when the water level in the tank raises substantially. Until now I assumed that I was nor properly sealing the connections, but now (after really laying on the sealant the last time) it has become very apparent that the pressure chamber has leaked since I bought the device. Unfortunately, I grasped the problem five days too late to make a warranty claim. Thus I have no recourse after spending $309. Hopefully you can learn from my mistake and locate a dependable alternative.
