Well pump monitoring for property managers

Hear about a dry well before your tenant does.

Welly watches the well pump at every property you manage and alerts you, and your contractor, the moment one starts acting up. Every well on one screen.

The problems Welly alerts you to

Catch well pump problems before they become tenant emergencies.

At a rental, the first sign of a well problem is usually a tenant with no water. By then it’s an after-hours call, a habitability clock, and a pump replacement you could have avoided.

Welly watches every pump in your portfolio, so repairs get scheduled instead of rushed.

  • Protect every property. A burst pipe at a vacant unit gets shut off from your phone before it reaches the floors.
  • Lower maintenance costs. A failing pressure tank shows up weeks early. Replace the tank on your schedule instead of the pump on a weekend.
  • Cover vacancies and turnovers. Set a unit to Away between tenants or guests and any water use gets flagged.

What Welly does for property managers comes down to three jobs, all from one app.

1See every well at a glance

Pump status, water use, and alerts for every property on one screen.

2Alerts routed to your team

No daily false notifications. When a pump acts up, you and your contractor hear about it at the same time.

3Shut the water off remotely

Cut pump power at any property before a leak turns into a flood. Turn it back on the same way.

4 well pump warning signs

See problems before they become issues.

Welly learns what normal looks like for each pump. When a reading leaves that range, you get one of four alerts, each named for what the pump is doing.

  • The pump’s normal range
  • What Welly catches

Welly watches the pump. It doesn’t test water quality or find leaks inside the house.

calling · 0.0 A

Well running dry

The pump is calling for water that isn’t there. Running dry can burn out a pump in an afternoon.

still running · 3 h 40 m

Well pump won’t shut off

It keeps running long past its normal. Usually a leak, a running toilet, or a hose left on.

Motor pulling too much power

The motor is drawing more than it should. Often the first sign of wear, caught while it’s still a repair.

Short cycling

The pump clicks on and off every few seconds. Usually a waterlogged pressure tank. Left alone, it wears out the motor.

Who Welly is for

Well pump monitoring for rentals and property portfolios.

At a rental, a failing pump usually shows up as a tenant’s call, a guest’s complaint, or a problem nobody sees at a vacant unit. Here’s what those four alerts look like across the properties you manage.

Single-family rentals

Know a tenant’s well is running dry before they call, and have your contractor on the way.

Portfolios

See every well on one screen, sorted so the property that needs you is on top.

Short-term rentals

Set it to Away between guests. If the pump runs overnight, you’ll know before check-in.

How it works

How Welly gets installed across your properties.

  1. 1

    Free site visits and volume pricing

    We check each property’s pump, pressure switch, and panel, confirm Welly fits, and give you a firm per-well price before anything is ordered. No charge for the visits.

  2. 2

    30 minute install at each pressure switch

    A licensed plumber or electrician wires Welly at each property. One brief power interruption, no plumbing, and tenants barely notice.

  3. 3

    Alerts routed to you and your team

    Your installer pairs each property to your account by scanning the code on the panel. You choose who hears about which address.

Hardware specs

Welly works with standard submersible and jet pumps, 120V or 240V single phase, up to 2 HP.

If the internet drops

Your pump keeps running normally. If the internet or the power goes out, it works exactly as it did before Welly, and Welly reconnects on its own. It joins each property’s existing Wi-Fi, with no hub and no separate data plan.

Each property needs a usable Wi-Fi signal where the panel is mounted, often the well house or basement.

Compare

Welly vs. leak detectors and pump protection relays

A leak detector watches the plumbing inside one house. A pump relay watches the pump but can’t reach you. Welly watches every pump in your portfolio and tells you what’s wrong.

We were on vacation when we heard that our fridge line broke and had been flooding our basement for 3 days. Awesome neighbors and restoration service came to remove our stuff, dry it out, and cut all the walls and floors. We came back to it not feeling like home but a big project. When I learned about Welly I signed up to be one of their first customers. I did the math and if it saves me from 1 future issue it’s still a deal. Plus, I do feel better when we’re away. The Welly app is easy to use once you set up your profile.

Questions property managers ask

Something else? Text or call 828-214-5055

Can I see all my properties in one app?

Yes. Every property you manage shows up on one screen, with its own status and alert settings. Tap any property to see its pump in detail.

Can my maintenance contractor get the alerts?

Yes. Add your contractor or maintenance team to a property, and they get the same alert you do, at the same moment.

Is there volume pricing for multiple properties?

Yes. Pricing is a one-time install plus a monthly plan per well, with lower rates as you add properties. You get a firm quote after the site visits.

Will Welly work with the pumps at my properties?

Most likely. It works with standard submersible and jet pumps, 120V or 240V single phase, up to 2 HP. Your installer confirms the fit at each property.

Do tenants need to do anything?

No. Welly runs in the background at the pressure switch. You can invite a tenant to the app if you want them to see alerts too.

How does Welly help with vacant units?

Switch a property to Away mode. Any water use or pump run while it sits empty sends an alert, and you can shut the water off from your phone.

How long does installation take per property?

About 30 minutes at each well. A licensed plumber or electrician wires Welly at the pressure switch, with no plumbing changes.

What are the signs a well pump is going bad?

Short cycling, running longer than normal, pulling more power than usual, and running dry. Welly watches for all four at every property.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contract. Monitoring is month to month for each well, and you can add or remove properties anytime.
