Bilge pump guide

Installazione, notifiche e uso quotidiano
Quick guide

How to install the web app and immediately understand whether the bilge is under control.

This guide explains how to add the app to your Home screen, enable notifications and interpret the main data: water level, pump status, pump health, battery and the type of connection available on the boat.

1. Install the app Add the PWA on iPhone or Android to open it like a normal app, without going through the browser every time.
2. Enable alerts Allow notifications and audio so alerts arrive immediately when the level rises or the pump behaves abnormally.
3. Check the status In the dashboard you will find a simple summary: all good, attention or alarm, with hints about leaks and pump anomalies.

Why the bilge is a critical point

The bilge is the lowest point of the boat and collects leaks, condensation and water residue. When the level rises too much, damage can become rapid: wet batteries, pumps under stress, electrical systems at risk and, in the worst cases, serious flooding.

Manual checks alone are not enough when the boat stays in the marina or is not visited every day. That is why the dashboard continuously shows level, pump, pump health, battery and available connection.

Notifications and alerts

To receive timely alerts, open the monitor, enable browser notifications and, when requested, authorize audio. The most important alarms should still be handled by the device or the server, not only by the browser.

If the pump starts often, the level exceeds the thresholds or the device stops sending data, the dashboard switches to attention or alarm status.

Beyond water level, the system helps distinguish between a possible leak, a blocked pump, a clogged pump or a simple loss of connection.

How to read the dashboard

Nella schermata principale trovi prima una lettura semplice dello stato generale, poi il dettaglio tecnico. Il segnale viene mostrato in modo leggibile: a stecche nella vista di tutte le pompe e in percentuale nella scheda singola. Se arrivano dati ma non c'è né Wi-Fi né LTE, il sistema considera la comunicazione come LoRa.

The connection color stays green as long as data arrives regularly; it turns red only when the device is truly offline.

This way you do not only read “how much water there is”, but also whether the pump is working properly or whether the bilge behavior suggests abnormal water ingress.
