The Crisis

Florida's Septic Failure Problem

Every year, 270,000 systems fail with zero warning — leaving homeowners and businesses facing emergency repair bills with no time to plan.

How It Works

2-Point Monitoring System

Capacitive sensors bond to the outside of your PVC pipes — one at the inlet, one at the outlet. No permits, no tank entry. Data flows via cellular to the cloud every few minutes.

01

Glue-On Installation

Sensors bond permanently to exposed PVC with PVC cement — like a standard pipe joint. No tank entry, no permits, no plumber required.

02

Cellular-Connected Hub

A solar-powered hub sits above ground, collecting readings and transmitting to the cloud over cellular. 97% US coverage — no WiFi needed.

03

Predictive Alerts

Cloud algorithms cross-reference both sensors with weather data to flag problems 2–14 days before failure — time to schedule a pump, not call an emergency plumber.

The Technology

Engineered for the Real World

In-house capacitive sensing technology detects water level changes through the pipe wall with no moving parts. Solar-powered, cellular-connected, designed to live outdoors for years without intervention.

Capacitive Sensing

Custom membrane detects water level through the pipe wall — no penetration, no moving parts to fail.

Solar-Powered Hub

Solar + LiPo battery keeps the hub running year-round. No wiring, no scheduled battery replacements.

No Permits Required

Sensor bonds outside the pipe, never touches the system. Florida DEP confirmed in writing: outside their jurisdiction.

Early Detection

Identify issues 2–4 weeks before failure

Smart Alerts

Real-time notifications to your phone

Cellular Connected

97%+ US coverage. No WiFi needed.

Predictive AI

ML cuts false alarms using weather data

Why TankSense

The Only Sensor That Sees the Full Picture

Most septic monitors are simple binary alarms. They watch one point, often have no internet connection, and can't predict anything. TankSense is the only device that can monitor both before and after the tank, connected to the cloud, and capable of flagging problems sometimes weeks before failure.

By tracking flow patterns at the inlet and outlet together, TankSense can tell you not just if something is wrong — but what is wrong and how to keep your system running optimally.

Why It Matters

What We Heard in the Field

"

I didn't know anything was wrong until sewage backed up on a child flushing.

I've paid $25k for a new system, or $6,000 in repairs. Our tank overflowed on Thanksgiving Day.

When something goes wrong, that is when they learn about waste management. A septic failure means direct environmental impact.
