Overview
LakeLevel is a rugged ultrasound sensor that measures water level from above the surface — no probe in the water, nothing to foul. It reads every 15 minutes, 96 times a day, to an accuracy of ±0.02 ft, and runs roughly ten years on its own battery at standard reporting frequency.
It mounts on a dock post, bridge, or boathouse in about fifteen minutes with no specialised training, connects over cellular or Wi-Fi, and is IP68-rated and CE and FCC compliant.

What problem does this solve for our lake?
- Lake level is the variable everyone on the shoreline notices and almost nobody measures. It gets recorded, if at all, as a mark on a post and a memory of what it looked like a few years ago.
- That gap matters in three specific situations:
- Flood risk. The useful number is not the level, it is the rate of change. Ninety-six readings a day makes a rising trend visible hours before it becomes a problem for docks, boathouses, and low shoreline property.
- Low water. Drawdown affects navigation, well yields, and littoral habitat, and it usually arrives slowly enough that nobody logs when it started. A continuous record turns "the lake seems low this year" into a number with a date attached.
- Disputes and structures. Level records are what settle arguments about dams, outlets, control structures, and riparian rights — and they only count if they were being collected before the argument started.
- The measurement also underpins other work. Volume, residence time, and nutrient loading calculations all depend on knowing the level, and a paired well record shows whether the lake and its groundwater are moving together or diverging.
What's included?
- LakeLevel ultrasound sensor, accurate to ±0.02 ft
- Readings every 15 minutes, 96 per day
- Mounting hardware for dock, bridge, or boathouse installation
- Wireless connectivity — cellular and Wi-Fi
- Battery operation of roughly 10 years at standard reporting frequency
- IP68-rated components, CE and FCC compliant
- User manual and installation guide
- Data flows up to the Lake Pulse cloud and back down into your lake's account, where it can be charted in the Analytics Hub, used to trigger alerts, and shared across your lake community
What's not included
- Installation. Mounting takes about 15 minutes and needs no specialist, but you do it.
- A structure to mount on. The sensor reads downward and needs a fixed position above the water.
- Water quality of any kind. This measures level only.
- Flow or discharge measurement
- Survey-grade elevation referencing. If you need level tied to a datum for a legal or engineering matter, contact the Boathouse before ordering.
- Treatment, remediation, or applicator services
Requirements
- A fixed structure over the water — dock post, bridge, boathouse — that stays put through the season
- A mounting height clear of wave splash and ice
- Cellular or Wi-Fi coverage at the mounting point
- A consistent reference point, recorded at install, so readings mean the same thing in year three as in year one
- A Plus, Lake Admin, or PRO subscription. Syncing a real-time device to a Lake Pulse account requires one of these tiers.
- Contact the Lake Pulse Boathouse if you have questions.
What you get back
Results
- Continuous water level data, 96 readings per day, accurate to ±0.02 ft
- Rate of change, which is the number that matters for flood and drawdown response
- Remote alerts on sudden rises or drops
- A long-term level record — the input for volume, residence time, and loading calculations, and the evidence base for any dispute about outlets or control structures
- Roughly ten years of operation on battery, with minimal maintenance
- Data flows up to the Lake Pulse cloud and back down into your lake's account, where it can be charted in the Analytics Hub, used to trigger alerts, and shared across your lake community
- Results are found in your lake's portal, accessible only to Plus, Lake Admin, and PRO subscription tiers
Pro tips
- Record the reference elevation at install, in writing. A level series with no datum is a shape, not a measurement, and reconstructing it later is close to impossible.
- Mount higher than you think. Ice and wave splash end more deployments than hardware failure.
- The rate of change is the alert, not the level. Set thresholds on how fast the water moves, not on where it sits.
- Pair it with a well sensor if you have one. Lake and groundwater moving together is normal; diverging is the interesting case.
- Ten-year battery life assumes standard frequency. If you increase reporting rate, the battery math changes.
- Start before you need it. Level data is most valuable in a dispute or a flood year, and neither gives notice.

Results from this product land in your lake's shared record in the Portal — next to everything else your lake has ever measured, instead of in an inbox.

Every reading is time-stamped as it is recorded. Readings come from one sensor at one location and depth; conditions elsewhere in the lake can differ, sometimes sharply and within hours. Sensors drift, foul, and occasionally fail, and readings between maintenance and calibration visits may be affected. Gaps in the record are shown as gaps, never filled in. Sensor values are field measurements, not laboratory analyses. Alerts are notifications of a reading, not a safety determination. Results can help you make decisions about safe swimming and water use, but no result is definitive for every place and time. It is always good practice to check posted signs and your state or local health authorities.
