Description
Water Well Management in Real Time using SonicSense Technology.
The Well Watch 700 is the worlds first and only commercial grade sonic water level sensor designed for municipal, agricultural, and oil/gas applications. This Patented system monitors water levels by sending a powerful acoustic pulse into the casing and doing a simple time/distance calculation on the reflection. Sonic sensors are externally mounted so there is nothing to lower into the well allowing it to operate on wells containing caustic water, oil or pressurized gas. Installation is simple and there is no yearly maintenance or calibration, eliminating the expensive initial and recurring fees common with other measurement technologies.
Benefits:
Intelligent Ground Water Management for Commercial Applications.
Eno Scientific designed this system to provide a complete management system. It will not only log and display water levels but can also take inputs from pulsed flow meters and includes two independently programmable relay contacts available for pump control or remote alarms. Data is calculated internally so there is no requirement for wifi accessibility or proprietary software. Communication with existing data and control equipment can be accomplished using the included RS232, RS485 (Modbus), 0-5V, 4-20ma (or optional Ethernet). Eno Scientific also has compatible cellular modems and solar kits for off the grid applications. The Well Watch 700 can measure anything between 1/2″ sounding tubes up to 24″ high volume wells and levels down to 7000ft with top mount turbine or submersible pumps. This meter is capable of reading levels in angled wells, through coiled pipe and around partial obstructions in the well.
The most versatile well monitoring system on the market.
The Well Watch 700 is available in specially designed coatings to protect from extreme elements or as custom matches to existing well equipment.
The Well Watch 700 sonic water level sensor was designed to be as adaptable as possible. The 700 easily monitors levels at any angle which also works for directionally drilled wells, such as deep mining wells that may change grades as the levels increase. The 700 will also provide accurate data in slant wells, such as this Desalinization Plant, that is installed at an almost horizontal grade. In this situation, the customers were unable to obtain accurate levels from the existing transducer without a fair amount of manual calculations because of the grade. The 700 was seamlessly integrated and is now providing real time data greatly reducing time and man power that was being spent on a single well.
Installers have been able to configure the installations to fit the application as needed. For most top mount turbine wells, there is a clear 2″ vent tube that can be used for mounting the 730 probe but for other wells, like some submersibles, the installers have the freedom to mount the probe in any number of fashions using extension tubing and angled fittings. If there isn’t a 2″ access then the attachment can be necked down to fit what’s available.
For agricultural applications, the Well Watch 700 sonic water level sensor is being used to provide real time level data that is useful in the management of irrigation water. Know when to irrigate, how quickly the water supply is drawing down and how quick it recharges after the pump shuts off. For some growers there is even a correlation between the depth to water and the quality of the water so use of the 700 allows the grower to manage when and where they pump the well. The user can also incorporate flow data to get a complete picture of the well’s performance.
