Bilge Sensor
222,00 €
The Smart Bilge Sensor continuously monitors the water level in the bilge and prevents not only a rapid sinking of a boat, but also damage from water accumulated in the bilge over a long period of time.
The water detection is performed via two robust marine – grade float switches on 3 meter long cables which can be installed in any bilge configuration, at a desired height.
The sensor performs a self-check every 12h and reports its health status to you and the Sense4Boat control center.
1 YEAR SENSE4BOAT SUBSCRIPTION IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
After one year you can choose to continue using the Sense4Boat service for the price of 63€ per year.

Bilge Sensor at a glance
HIGH WATER ALARM
Prevents sinking and damage caused by water intrusion. Place the float in any bilge just below a height where water starts being a problem.
TWO FLOAT SWITCHES
Monitor two water levels in one bilge or two adjecent bilges with a single sensor.
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Having its own replaceable batteries, this device does not use the boat’s power. Low energy consumption means you will need to replace the battery only every several years.
INTERNAL DATA BUFFER
When sailing far away from shore, out of reach of the NBIoT Network, the sensor will store all measured data, until connectivity is restored, at which time it will send all the stored data to the Sense4Boat control center, ensuring all measuremements and alerts are saved.
Prevent sinking and water damage
Water will always find a way to your bilge. Most often, it will just be rain water, which which will create mold and an unpleasant odor after a while.
However, since every boat has many water outlets (sanitary units, cooling systems) sometimes things can go wrong and your boat will be at risk of sinking.
You can prevent this hazard with this affordable sensor. Just install the sensor and water in the bilge will never surprise you again.
Monitor the water level in your bilge with the Sense4Boat app
Set emergency contacts which will be automatically contacted in case of potential danger.
If high water is detected in your bilge, the sensor will alert you via voice call, SMS, Push notification and email. Furthermore, if the sensor is connected to your marina, we will alert your marina as well.
Define alarm parameters to suit your specific needs, which can be different based on the boat’s type, geographical location of the marina and actual placement of the sensor.
