Simple, Accurate Water Level Monitoring for Wicking Systems
BERA® WaterUps Reservoir Level Indicator
Take the guesswork out of watering with the BERA® WaterUps Reservoir Level Indicator — an easy-to-use tool designed to help you keep ideal moisture levels in your wicking beds and planters. Simply insert it into the inlet pipe, and it will show you at a glance whether your reservoir is full or needs a top-up.
How It Works?
✅ Real-Time Level Display
A built-in float rises with the water level and is clearly visible through the transparent top, so you always know how full your reservoir is.
✅ Low Water Alert
When the reservoir level drops, the float lowers or disappears, letting you know it’s time to refill — before your plants go thirsty.
✅ No More Guessing
Delivers consistent hydration to your plants, helping you avoid the risks of overwatering or underwatering.
Fits Most Standard Systems:
Perfect for use with any product that features a standard inlet pipe and wicking cell, including:
