Tankbolt is now refusing to provide service, they say that tankbolt battery is non replaceable and need to buy new tankbolt, as battery life is about two years

I am a bit confused abt how to turn a pump switch into a socket... Our pump is in the ground floor.. whr as our switch is on the 2nd floor.. As far as my knowledge goes.. the switch will only have a live wire... if we convert it into a socket we'll also need a neutral line, right?

@TalkingstuffNet 4 жыл бұрын

Sometimes motors are connected directly to a switch, the tankbolt needs a plug to be connected directly through it to be able to control it. The motor plug is plugged into the tankbolt and the tankbolt is inserted into the power socket and is left on. A two prong connector also works, as mine is only two prong. This is why you will need a wall socket to plug the tankbolt into.

No dry run protection? No sensor inside sump to know whether water is available before the motor turns on?

@TalkingstuffNet 4 жыл бұрын

The dry run is detected by monitoring the change in level of water rising in overhead tank while motor is on. If the motor is on and the level doesn't increase for some time, it turns it off to prevent Dry Run.

@TalkingstuffNet 2 жыл бұрын

It only works to monitor the overhead tank. I have seen other devices which have two sets of sensors one for the tank above and other other for the sump. It would always keep the top tank filled and would stop the motor if the sump is empty. You will not get a mobile app though. amzn.to/3LNcuXV

So my pump is on ground floor and i have 2 tanks one at 1st floor and second one is on 3rd floor. So how i am going to connect both the tanks?

@TalkingstuffNet 4 жыл бұрын

How do you fill both tanks, if it is using a single motor, with one overflowing into the the next then one should work. But if you have two separate motors then each one needs to have a tankbolt.

@zufumochiki 3 жыл бұрын

How can it work with submersible pump where there is a push button.

@TalkingstuffNet 3 жыл бұрын

You will need to connect the plug for the pump to the oakter smart plug. The sensor is for the overhead tank and not for the one below. If you don't have a standard switch you will need to get it converted.

@TalkingstuffNet 2 жыл бұрын

There is a schedule option where you can set the time and also days it should run. But it also has a minimum level which is 10% at minimum to auto start. If the tank is above 10%, it won't start automatically, but this cannot be turned off.

My motor is on ground floor whereas the water tank is on 4th floor. We stay on 3rd floor. If the controller/smart plug is installed next to the motor on ground floor, can it provide the live data regarding water level in the tank on 3rd floor?

@TalkingstuffNet 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it can, but you will need to purchase an extension cable for the sensor wire. As it's only reading the level of the tank on top it will work with no problems.

@ramneetchanana3179 2 жыл бұрын

I think I am not clear with my question. I will try to re-phrase it for better clarity. Does the smart plug installed on ground floor needs to be connected with wifi all the time in order to get the updated data on app on 3rd floor? Or it can work offline also?

@TalkingstuffNet 2 жыл бұрын

It can work offline , but to control it via the app and to view the tank level it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi. If it's offline it will still turn off automatically when the tank is full.
