Questions & Answers 

How does it work?

How does Aqvify work?

A sensor is lowered deep into the well or tank (above the pump or at the bottom). It sends the current and very accurate water level once a minute to the Aqvify box, which forwards it to Aqvify’s cloud service over your WiFi network — or over the mobile network if you have added Mobile Connectivity.

We process the data and calculate, among other things, how much water you have available, groundwater level (for wells), inflow and approximate consumption.

With a little magic, your well data is then presented in the Aqvify app on your phone or tablet!

What does Aqvify monitor?

Available volume and fill rate is graphically displayed on the first page of the app and quickly and easily illustrates the amount of water currently available.

For a well, the Available volume is the volume between the current water level and the selected minimum level. Learn more about the app.

How deep can Aqvify monitor?

The Aqvify sensor is submerged deep into the well or tank – either just above the pump or, if there is no pump in the water well itself, then to the bottom.

We have a number of sensor cable in our assortment – from 2 meter to 90 meter.
It is also possible to order even longer/deeper.

You can see the different standard lengths if you click Order kit.

How often is the information about my well or tank updated?

Once a minute! To give you access to always up-to-date information, so that we can make calculations for you, and so you can act quickly on alarms.

We can also adjust the frequency to your need – eg. for using a battery and/or solar panel for powering your Aqvify-box.

What alarms can I set?

You can set alerts for as many levels as you like, both falling and rising. In a well, that might be an early warning as the level starts dropping and another as it approaches your minimum. In a tank, you can be alerted when the level gets low — or high, which is useful for a septic tank or a drainage well where you want to know before it overflows. Alerts are delivered as push notifications in the app and by email.

Can Aqvify monitor the water level in a tank, pool or drain well?

Sure! Water communities monitor tanks and pools – it is appreciated to know quickly if something unexpected happens, especially as many can be affected. Others measure water tanks for reverse osmosis, septic tanks, drain wells and more.

What kind of sensor does Aqvify use?

Aqvify utilizes a highly accurate pressure sensor that measures the water column above it. By frequently monitoring the water level and factoring in the diameter of the well or tank, Aqvify provides easily accessible information on water levels, inflow rates, approximate usage, and the total volume in liters.

What is "available volume" in a well?

Available volume is displayed on the first page of the app (in the form of a cylinder) and quickly and easily illustrates the amount of water currently available.

The Available volume is the volume between the current water level and the selected minimum level. Learn more about the app.

How do I add more users?

It’s easy to give others access to your well/tank in the Aqvify app. Go to Profile, click on the well/tank, go to Users and Add users. Read instructions here.

What user roles are there?

There are four different user roles that can be assigned:

  • Read/WriteView and change the device readings and settings. Recieve alarms. Manage users.
  • Owner – same as Read/Write and primary contact for Aqvify
  • ReadSee the device metrics, settings, and users. Recieve alarms.
  • Installer – View and change the device readings and settings.

How to add users is described in our instruction.

The app

How do I download the app?
The Aqvify app is available to download for iOS in App Store and for Android in Play Store.
What if I forget or want to change my password?
The procedure to get a new password is the same if you have forgotten your password or just want to change it. A short guide is available here.

Subscription

Do I need a subscription to use Aqvify?

Aqvify connects over your own WiFi as standard, and there is no subscription fee for the service. Your purchase includes access to the app, alerts and your full measurement history, with no limit on the number of users sharing the installation.

If there is no WiFi where the box is installed, you can add Mobile Connectivity. The box then uses a built-in eSIM, with all mobile data included. The first year is included in your purchase; the renewal fee is shown on the order page.

How does the eSIM work?

If you add Mobile Connectivity, an eSIM is built into the Aqvify box. There is nothing to order or insert, and all mobile data is included.

Which operator do you use?

Our eSIM can connect to most larger operators and uses the one with the best coverage. This applies when you use Mobile Connectivity; with WiFi the box uses your own internet connection.

Can several people view the same well or tank?

Yes, and there is no limit on how many. Each person needs their own login, and you invite them from the app.

Do the subscriptions have a commitment period?

No. Mobile Connectivity renews annually with no commitment or notice period beyond the year already paid for. There is no subscription for the service itself.

Can I connect the Aqvify box to WiFi?

Yes — WiFi is the standard connection. The box uses 2.4 GHz WiFi, so the signal needs to reach where the box sits, often a pump house or outbuilding. A repeater or access point usually solves it if the signal is weak. If there is no WiFi at the installation site, add Mobile Connectivity instead.

How do I manage my subscription?

If you have Mobile Connectivity, you can manage it by clicking Login and signing in with the same username and password as in the app.

Is WiFi secure?

The Aqvify box only sends data out to our cloud service and does not accept incoming connections. It does not have access to other devices on your network. If you prefer to keep it off your home network entirely, Mobile Connectivity gives it a separate connection.

Installation

Is it difficult to install Aqvify?

You can easily install Aqvify yourself using our step-by-step installation guides. Support is available via chat and phone if needed.

Alternatively, you can find a list of our installers and contact them directly to arrange the installation.

How deep should the sensor be elevated?

For wells:
The sensor should typically be positioned deep within the well, just above the pump or water inlet. If there is no pump, the sensor can be lowered to the bottom.

For tanks:
In tanks, the sensor should ideally be placed at the bottom to ensure accurate water level measurements. If placing the sensor at the bottom isn’t possible, you can set an offset to accommodate its position.

Sustainability 

How does Aqvify contribute to sustainability?

With Aqvify, you have unique control and can avoid using the well to an excessively low water level, for example a at low groundwater level or overuse, which risks saltwater intrusion or burnt pump. You can also “save the well” by receiving SMS alerts in case of water leakage or overuse. 

Customers have avoided investing in costly and energy-intensive reverse osmosis systems thanks to the safety and control that Aqvify provides. Did you know that reverse osmosis requires 20-25 times more energy than a traditional water pump?

Can Aqvify create more water?
No – Aqvify is of course no “water factory”, BUT Aqvify can actually make more water available through knowledge and control of your well.

With Aqvify’s help, many customers have learned more that they can actuallt use more water at times than they thought for their own crops, household and other purposes. Wells are all unique and behave differently depending on the conditions of the seasons!
