  • Publication number: 20200209092
    Abstract: A sump pump tracking system includes a pressure sensor including a first port and a second port, a tube extending from the first port, a processor in communication with the pressure sensor, and a remote server in communication with the pressure sensor. The processor is configured to receive an air pressure reading from the first port calculate a water level within the sump pit based on the air pressure reading from the first port. The server is configured to be programmed with an alarm threshold limit. The pressure sensor communicates the water level to the server, and the server is configured to compare the water level with the alarm threshold limit and send an alert if the water level is above the alarm threshold limit.

  • Patent number: 10585011
    Abstract: A sump pump tracking system includes a pressure sensor including a first port and a second port, a tube extending from the first port, a processor in communication with the pressure sensor, a remote server in communication with the pressure sensor, and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a water pressure reading from the first port; calculate a corresponding air pressure from the water pressure reading from the first port; and determine the pressure differential between the first port and the second port. The server is configured to be programmed with an alarm threshold limit. The pressure sensor communicates the pressure differentials to the server. The server is configured to compare the pressure differential with the alarm threshold limit and send an alert if the pressure differential is above the alarm threshold limit.
