How to Ensure Uninterrupted Water Supply 24/7 with a Level Sensor in a Farm Watering System Upgrade

March 19, 2026

Water is life for livestock farms. Whether it's pigs, cattle, sheep or poultry, a disruption in water supply can cause stress within hours and even lead to widespread deaths, resulting in significant economic losses. However, traditional manual inspection methods often fail to detect issues promptly, especially at night or during adverse weather conditions.

HojellyTek level sensors are increasingly becoming the preferred solution for upgrading drinking water systems on more and more farms. Let's look at a real case study.

Case Background:
A large-scale pig farm in Hebei Province has 20 pig houses, each equipped with an independent water storage tank that is supplied by pumps. Previously, the farm relied on manual timed inspections of water levels, which frequently resulted in:

  • Water shortages in storage tanks at night, causing pumps to run dry and burn out
  • Overflow from drinking troughs, leading to wet and slippery floors and disease transmission
  • High labor intensity for workers with low efficiency
  • Solution:
    The farm introduced the HojellyTek intelligent level monitoring system, installing submersible level sensors in each water storage tank, and connecting them to a centralized control cabinet and mobile phone APP.
  • Implementation Effect:
  • 24/7 Uninterrupted Water Supply: Sensors monitor water levels in real time. When the water level is low, the water pump starts automatically to refill; when the water level is high, the pump stops automatically, ensuring the drinking system always has water available.
  • Abnormal Alarm and Timely Response: Once abnormalities such as pump failure or pipe rupture causing abnormal water levels occur, the APP immediately pushes an alarm. Administrators can handle it at the first moment to avoid losses.
  • Reduce Labor and Lower Costs for Increased Efficiency: Previously, 2 workers were needed full-time for patrols. Now, only 1 person needs to check the system occasionally, saving nearly 50,000 yuan in labor costs annually.
  • Improve Breeding Benefits: Stable water supply improves the health level of the pig herd, resulting in a significant increase in the weaning rate.
  • Evaluation by Farm Manager:
  • \"After installing HojellyTek level sensors, we have completely liberated our labor force and no longer need to get up in the middle of the night to check the water. Most importantly, there have been no more losses due to water shortages. This system is definitely worth the investment!\
  • Why Do Farms Choose HojellyTek?
  • Corrosion-Resistant Design: The probe uses special materials to resist corrosion from feces and urine.
  • Anti-Clogging Technology: Optimized for breeding water quality characteristics to reduce probe adhesion.
  • Wireless Transmission: No wiring required, easy to install, and does not damage existing pens.
  • Multi-Level Alarm: Supports on-site sound and light alarm + remote mobile phone alarm.
