Water tank automation in Jaipur. It starts itself, stops itself, and never runs dry.
A level sensor in the tank, a controller at the motor, and a rule that runs whether or not anybody is home. The pump starts when the tank drops, stops before it overflows, and refuses to run on an empty line.
You see the level on your phone instead of shouting up the stairs.

Supply arrives when
it arrives.
In a city with round-the-clock mains pressure, tank automation is a convenience. In Jaipur it is closer to essential, because the supply window is not yours to choose. If nobody is home when the water comes, the tank does not fill. If somebody forgets the motor is running, it overflows down the outside wall for an hour.
Both problems are the same problem: a human being has to be paying attention at a time nobody decided. The controller pays attention instead. The third failure, running the pump dry on an empty line, is the one that actually costs money, because it burns the motor out.
The full guide to Jaipur supply and tank sizing
It fills when supply arrives
The controller watches the line, not the clock. When water is available and the tank is low, it runs. That might be three in the afternoon or three in the morning, without anybody being awake for it.
It stops before it overflows
A level sensor near the top cuts the motor. No wasted water down the wall, no wet street, and no neighbour knocking.
It will not run dry
Dry-run protection cuts the pump when there is nothing to draw. This is the failure that destroys motors, and it is the single strongest reason to fit a controller even if you never open the app.
What the price includes
- Level sensing in the overhead tank, and in the underground tank where there is one
- Controller wired at the motor starter
- Dry-run and overflow cut-outs configured and tested
- Level and supply alerts on every phone in the house
- Manual override left in place, so the motor can always be run by hand
- First-year cover on top of the manufacturer warranty
What it does not include
- A new pump or motor
- Plumbing changes, new pipework or tank replacement
- Rectifying an unsafe or unearthed motor starter
- Running new cable up to the tanks, or the civil work that would need
- Anything that requires draining or lifting the tank
One thing has to be true before a motor can be automated
We fit sensor-based automation only. A sensor reads the actual level in the tank and the controller decides from that, rather than a float switch banging the motor on and off at two fixed points. It is the better system and it is the only one we will fit, but it has a condition attached, so here it is plainly:
The wiring has to already be there. Cable must run from the overhead tank, and from the underground tank if you have one, back down to the motor. In most Jaipur houses built with a sump and an overhead tank it already does, because something had to carry the old float switch or the starter controls. Where it does not, the sensor has nothing to talk to. Getting cable up a finished terrace wall means chasing and patching, which is the exact civil work retrofit exists to avoid.
We check this in the first two minutes of the survey and we will tell you straight away if the answer is no. Nobody should pay for a controller that cannot be connected to anything.
The questions,
answered plainly.
How much does water tank automation cost in Jaipur?
Automatic water tank control in Jaipur costs ₹6,500 – ₹12,000 installed. That covers the level sensor, the controller, the fitting and the setup, and it sits with every published price on the site.
It is half a day on site. There is no civil work: the sensor and the controller both mount without anything being cut or chased.
How does automatic water tank control work?
A level sensor in the tank tells a controller how full it is, and the controller starts and stops your existing pump. No app is needed for any of it, and it keeps running when the broadband is down. The motor runs when the tank drops, stops before it overflows, and will not run dry.
The rules live in the controller itself rather than in an app, so the tank fills correctly whether or not anybody is at home.
Does it need plumbing or civil work?
No. The sensor and the controller both mount without cutting anything, so there is no chiselling, no replumbing and no repainting. That is the same retrofit principle behind everything we install.
We work with the tank, the pump and the pipework already on your roof.
Will it stop the pump running dry?
Yes. Running dry is the failure this controller exists to prevent, and it is the expensive one. How Jaipur supply behaves explains why it happens so easily here.
It stops the tank overflowing at the other end of the cycle too. Both rules run at the controller, so neither depends on your phone.
Do I need to replace my existing motor?
No. The controller sits between your supply and the starter you already have, so the pump, the pipework and the tank all stay exactly as they are. We check the starter is safe and correctly earthed before we build on top of it, and if it is not, we will say so rather than wire around it.
What happens when the power goes out mid-fill?
The motor stops, as it always would, and the controller remembers where it was. Power cuts and broken parts are different problems, and what fails and when covers the second. When power returns it re-reads the actual tank level rather than resuming blindly, so a cut halfway through a fill does not cause an overflow twenty minutes later.
Does it work if the internet is down?
Yes. Every rule that matters runs on the controller at the tank, not in a cloud account. Start on low, stop on full, cut on dry. A broadband outage costs you the phone notification and nothing else. This is the same hard rule we apply to switches and curtains.
Where this does not help
A controller captures every supply window you get. It cannot create one. If your tank is genuinely undersized for how often water reaches your area, automation will make the situation better and it will not make it fine. The honest fix there is a bigger tank, and we will tell you that instead of selling you a controller.
It also needs cable already running from the tank back down to the motor. If there is none, the job means chasing walls, which is the thing retrofit exists to avoid. We check that before quoting, not after.
