Live tank level, flow rate, totalized volume, pump state and supply power for every well and booster station, on your phone or computer.
Pilot program now open in California
Know what your water is doing, from anywhere.
FlowPoint monitors and controls wells, booster pumps, tank levels and water flow over LTE-M cellular, and sends alarms straight to your phone. Stop driving out to check tanks.
- Flow, level, pressure and pump status
- Text-message alarms to up to 6 phones

FlowPoint alert
Ranch Well #1 P1: Motor overload tripped
Example screen for illustration
Less driving. Fewer surprises. Protected pumps.
Pumps that protect themselves
Automatic stop on overload, phase loss, dry run or a failed start. Restart delays grow after each trip and the pump locks out before damage is done.
Alarms even in a power outage
Battery backup keeps the unit talking long enough to send the power-fail alert. Readings taken while the network is down are stored and sent later.
What FlowPoint measures and controls
Flow
Flow rate and totalized volume from pulse-output meters or Modbus flow meters.
Tank level
4-20 mA level transmitters, float switches, or Modbus sensors.
Pressure & more
Any 4-20 mA or Modbus sensor, scaled to engineering units (psi, ft, °F).
Pumps & valves
Start/stop control of 2 pumps or valves, with full panel feedback.
Power
Supply voltage, battery level and power-fail alarms.
Site security
Door/intrusion and smoke inputs with a siren output.
VFDs & meters
Up to 8 Modbus RTU values over RS-485.
Schedules
Timer mode and peak-hour energy saving to cut electricity costs.
The hardware
RTU20 remote terminal unit
RTU20 mounts on a DIN rail inside your pump panel. It reads the site, runs the pumps by your rules, and reports over the cellular network, with no Wi-Fi or phone line needed.
- Modern cellular: LTE-M / NB-IoT, built for US networks. A direct replacement for 2G controllers that no longer work.
- Smart control modes: AUTO from tank level, REMOTE from phone or cloud, TIMER schedules, and energy saving that avoids peak-rate hours.
- Respects your panel: the Hand-Off-Auto switch always wins. RTU20 only runs a pump when the selector is in AUTO.
- Secure: encrypted cloud connection (TLS), and text-message commands need a PIN from an approved phone number.
- Easy setup: USB-C configuration port and plain-English commands.

Subscription
FlowPoint Cloud
One subscription per site covers the cellular connection and the online dashboard. No servers to run and no IT department needed.
Live dashboard
Every site on one screen: levels, flow, pump status, alarms. Works on phone, tablet and computer.
Alerts your way
Text messages straight from the unit, plus dashboard alerts. Recovery messages tell you when a problem has cleared.
History and reports
Trends of level, flow and run hours; totalized volume for water-use reporting.
Remote control
Start, stop, change modes and set points from anywhere, with every command logged.
Cellular included
We supply and manage the IoT SIM on major US carriers.
Open data
Prefer your own system? Data is sent over standard MQTT and can feed your existing SCADA or dashboard.
How it works
-
1
In your panel
RTU20 connects to your level sensor, flow meter, pump contactor and protection relays.
-
2
Over cellular
Readings and events go securely over LTE-M to FlowPoint Cloud. Alarms also go out by text.
-
3
In your hand
Check levels and flow, get alerts and control pumps from your phone or computer.
Done for you
Installation and panel building
We don't just ship a box. Our team in Los Angeles designs, builds and installs the whole solution across California.
Site survey & design
We visit the site, check cellular coverage, and specify sensors, meters and panel changes.
Custom pump panels
New control panels built in our shop with RTU20, contactors, protection relays and HOA switches, wired and tested before delivery.
Installation & commissioning
Installation in existing panels, sensor and flow-meter hookup, and on-site testing of every alarm and control.
Upgrades from 2G
Replace controllers made useless by the 2G network shutdown, keeping the field behaviour your operators know.
Training
Hands-on training for your operators on the dashboard, alarms and text commands.
Support
Phone and remote support, with configuration changes made over the air.
Built for California water
Well to storage tank
Start the well pump at 30 % and stop at 80 %, with dry-run protection and overflow alarms. Know your water level every morning without leaving the office.
Farms & ranch irrigation
Schedule irrigation pumps, avoid peak electricity rates, and track every gallon pumped with flow totalizing.
Booster stations
Remote start/stop and pressure monitoring for booster pumps serving homes, HOAs and facilities.
Small water systems
Mutual water companies and small districts: production volumes, run hours and alarms in one place, for operations and reporting.
Limited pilot program
Become a FlowPoint pilot site
We are selecting a small number of California sites to work with us during the pilot phase of RTU20 and FlowPoint Cloud.
- Site survey and installation by our team
- Direct line to our engineers
- Your feedback shapes the product
- Pilot terms and pricing for early partners
Frequently asked questions
Do I need internet or Wi-Fi at the site?
No. RTU20 has its own LTE-M cellular connection, designed for remote sites with weak signal. We check coverage during the site survey.
What happens if the cellular network goes down?
The pumps keep running on local control by your set points. Readings are stored in the unit (weeks of data) and uploaded automatically when the connection returns.
What about power outages?
A built-in Li-ion battery keeps RTU20 running long enough to send the power-fail alarm by text and to the cloud, and to report when power comes back.
Can operators still run the pump by hand?
Yes. The panel's Hand-Off-Auto switch always has priority. RTU20 only controls the pump in AUTO, and reports when the switch is moved.
Which flow meters work with FlowPoint?
Meters with a pulse output (for example one pulse per 10 gallons) and meters with a Modbus RTU interface. Tell us your meter model and we will confirm.
Can I use my own SCADA instead of FlowPoint Cloud?
Yes. RTU20 publishes standard MQTT messages and accepts commands the same way, so it can feed an existing system. Ask us about integration.
Do you only work in Los Angeles?
We are based in Los Angeles and serve sites across California. For larger projects outside California, contact us.
