Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Installation & Compatibility

Do I need to drill holes in my tank to install the sensor?

No. This is one of the biggest advantages of AquaMeter. The device is installed directly into the water hose outlet. This eliminates any risk of leaks and keeps your tank’s structural integrity intact.

How does AquaMeter know how much water is left if it’s in the hose?

AquaMeter acts as a high-precision smart flow meter (accurate to 0.01L). It measures every milliliter leaving the tank and subtracts it from the total volume you’ve set in the app.

Did you know? Thanks to this level of precision, some users discover that their factory-rated “100L” tank actually holds only 95L or less. AquaMeter helps you determine your real capacity.

What if I don’t refill the tank completely?

The system is designed to be practical for real-world use:

  • Full Refill: Since 98% of motorhome owners refill their tanks to the brim, you simply tap the “Full Tank” button in the app to reset the counter to 100%.
  • Partial Refill: If you add a specific amount (e.g., a 20L canister), you can manually add those 20L in the app to keep the level synchronized.

We chose not to measure water intake automatically to keep the system simple, affordable, and easy to install on any type of filler neck.

Does it work with gravity-fed systems (no pump)?

Yes. AquaMeter has been tested and works correctly even in gravity-fed systems where there is no water pump or high pressure.
