The ECHO-SW is an automated surface water monitoring station for rivers, canals and open channels. It measures water level and water quality at one site, logs the readings on the ECHO-Gateway v4 and sends them to EchoCloud. It runs on solar power, so it needs no mains supply on site.
Features
Level and quality together
One station records water level, conductivity, salinity, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen.
Three ways to measure level
Choose a pressure, radar or ultrasonic sensor to suit the site.
For any surface water
Rivers, canals and open channels.
Solar powered
A solar panel and backup battery keep the station running at off-grid sites.
Dual communication
4G and Ethernet together. If one goes down, the station restores communication over the other.
No data lost in an outage
If all communication is down, the station keeps logging and resends the data when the connection returns.
Station health
Check power, signal and storage remotely in EchoCloud.
Alerts
Get alerts by email, Telegram and WhatsApp.
Installation and support
SpaceEcho installs and maintains the station, with a 2-year hardware warranty and 24/7 technical support.
Surface water level and quality sensors
Radar and ultrasonic sensors measure from above the water and do not touch it. A pressure sensor sits under the water and needs nothing mounted over the surface. Water quality probes can run at the same station.

Supported sensors
The EchoHub-485 gives a station more sensor ports. The EchoHub Combine Unit connects sensors with 0–10 V, 4–20 mA or SDI-12 signals, by model.

Frequently asked questions
What can the station measure?
Water level, plus conductivity, TDS, salinity, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen with water quality probes.
Which level sensor do I need?
Radar and ultrasonic sensors measure from above and need a mount over the water. A pressure sensor sits under the water and needs nothing above the surface.
Does it work in canals and open channels?
Yes. The station suits rivers, canals and open channels.
Can it work at a remote site with no mains power?
Yes. The station runs on a solar panel with a backup battery.
How does the data reach me?
The station sends readings over 4G or Ethernet to EchoCloud, where you can view them in real time.
What happens if the connection goes down?
With 4G and Ethernet, the station restores communication over the other link. If all communication is down, it keeps the data and resends it when the connection returns.
Does SpaceEcho install the station?
Yes. SpaceEcho provides installation and maintenance services, with a 2-year hardware warranty and 24/7 technical support.
