A stock tank monitor is a game changer for ranchers or remote field livestock operations. When you’re managing livestock across acres of remote grazing land, driving out to check water levels in every stock tank isn’t just a chore, it’s a daily time sink. And if a tank goes dry between checks? The consequences to your herd’s health and your operation’s bottom line can be serious.
That’s why we built the AgriLynk Stock Tank Monitor. A rugged, solar-powered sensor system that tracks your tank’s water level and sends real-time alerts, so you never have to wonder if your livestock have water again.
What is a Stock Tank Monitor?
A stock tank monitor is a sensor-based system that remotely tracks the water level in a livestock tank. Instead of manually driving or riding out to check tanks, you get instant updates from your phone or computer, along with alerts if anything goes wrong.
The AgriLynk Stock Tank Monitor is designed for ranchers, livestock managers, and landowners who need reliable water monitoring for remote or difficult-to-access tanks.
Why Stock Tank Monitoring Matters
If you’re running a cattle operation or managing large pastures, monitoring your stock water tanks is critical. But doing it manually eats up time and fuel.
Here’s why it matters:
-
Livestock health depends on reliable water access
-
Manual checks waste time, especially for multiple tanks
-
Leaks or dry tanks can go unnoticed for days
-
Winter freezing or broken valves can cause sudden water loss
Smart monitoring keeps you ahead of problems — and your herd hydrated.

How Stock Tank Monitors Work
1. Sensor + Field Station
A rugged pressure sensor is installed in your tank and connected to an AgriLynk field station, powered by a long-life rechargeable battery and solar panel.
2. LoRa Radio
The station sends water level data wirelessly via LoRa — a long-range, low-power radio ideal for rural properties.
3. Gateway Connectivity
The AgriLynk gateway connects to the internet using:
-
Wi-Fi (via local ISP or Starlink), or
-
4G cellular (for remote sites with no Wi-Fi)
4. Real-Time Dashboard
Data flows to your secure AgriLynk dashboard, accessible on any device. View current levels, set custom alerts, and monitor all tanks from one place.
