TinyPumper is unlike any other monitor on the market.

Using a highly efficient solar augmented super capacitor solar system, TinyPumper is able to crank out data anywhere the sun shines ☀️

Basically, the TinyPumper works as a tiny 'modem' onsite.

The TinyPumper cycles through a number of different cellular carriers (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile) until it finds it's best one...

Then, simply pairs with any sensor onsite via Bluetooth.

This device is perfect for tank-level or pressure monitoring.

TinyPumper is also compatible with a wide array of industry-standard sensors.


Simply tell us what you require and we'll pair your monitoring needs to the proper sensor for a perfect match 💏

The custom IP67 enclosure eliminates any concern regarding water or other weather intrusions, and the small design allows the monitor to safely secured to any type of equipment in the field.

2-Step Installation:

  1. Set TinyPumper device anywhere on the tank, wellhead, TotalFlow computer, compressor or the like (auto-secured with super strong Neodymium magnetic base or zip tied to any rail, pipe, or fixture through the device’s built in eyelets…) 📶

  2. Important: to get our best charge, make sure the solar panel faces the sky ☀️

  3. That's it.

Pro Tip 1 🛠️

For best charge, make sure TinyPumper Solar Panel faces the sky:

Pro Tip 2 🛠️

The higher up you can get your TinyPumper, the better cellular reception you'll achieve.

Your best bets are higher up the Pump Jack, top of the Separator, Railing of the Cat Walk, On Top of a pole.....

For example, an Operator reported 'spotty' connectivity with his Pressure measurements. And, we can see here operator has installed TinyPumper on the base of the pumping unit.

By simply moving the TinyPumper up the unit, Operator immediately achieved a strong cellular connection and perfect measurements:

Pro Tip 3 🛠️

The closer your TinyPumper is located to your sensors, the better battery life and better Bluetooth connection you'll achieve.

Please note: the maximum range between TinyPumper and any sensor is 50 yards (150 feet).

For example, an Operator reported 'spotty' connectivity with his Tank level measurements.

And, we can see here operator has installed TinyPumper right next to one Radar Tank Sensor but quite some distance from the other:

By simply moving the TinyPumper equidistant between the two Tank Sensors, the Operator immediately achieved a strong Bluetooth connection and perfect measurements.

Common Questions

What do the 'flashes' on Radar Tank Sensor mean?

One flash means all systems go – the TinyPumper is healthy and it's properly transmitting data. ✅

Two flashes means TinyPumper has low battery – make sure the solar panel is wiped clean and that it's positioned to face the sky 🪫

Three flashes means there is a wiring fault or bad sensor – give us a buzz and we'll help you troubleshoot it immediately. 🤝

Rapid flashes for 30+ seconds means TinyPumper is sending data.

Once the attempt is finished, TinyPumper will return to whichever blinking status it was in from the three listed above.
