Rainwater Catchment Solutions

Every cistern and pump,
verified and automated

Stop guessing, start managing. Monitor harvested rainwater levels, automate pump control, and document yields for catchment systems — with reporting built for compliance standards like Texas Health and Safety Code 341.042 and Oklahoma HB 3055.

Cistern & tank level, verified continuously

A submersible pressure transducer tracks harvested rainwater level continuously, feeding an RS10 data logger or RS130 telemetry for instant visibility on myRanch — track volume in gallons or acre-feet instead of checking a sight gauge by hand.

Catchment Applications

  • Tank monitoring to maintain appropriate fire suppression reserves
  • Depth & flow measurement
  • Stormwater yield analysis
  • First flush diversion monitoring
  • Reporting for compliance with Texas Health and Safety Code 341.042 and Oklahoma HB 3055

Sensor Specs

  • Range: 34.63 ft (15 PSI)
  • Accuracy: ±2 inches
  • Protocol: SDI-12 / 4-20mA
  • Rating: IP66 stainless steel

Pump control, automated

Ranch Systems telemetry interfaces with most pump controllers — including the Murphy PowerCore® TEC-10 — to auto-start pumps based on critical conditions, closed-loop monitor actual start/stop and failure alerts, and create a virtual pump controller on the myRanch platform.

Key Features

  • Interfaces with most pump controllers
  • Auto-start based on critical conditions
  • Closed-loop monitoring of actual start/stop, plus failure alerts
  • Creates a virtual controller on the myRanch platform

Operational Benefits

  • Maintain consistency: ensure optimal tank levels
  • Energy efficiency: prevent unnecessary runtime, run electric pumps off-peak
  • Hardware protection: prevent system wear and damage from dry running

See it in the field

The same Pump Control Widget on myRanch that shows engine hours, pump pressure, and shutdown status also pairs with cistern-level readings from real rainwater storage installations — so a full catchment system shows up in one dashboard.
