Water Management Technology on the Ranch

Guardian™ by Behlen Country powered by RealmFive (patent pending) alerts ranchers and stockmen to stock tank water issues before they are problems, saving time and money.

Each Guardian device requires an annual subscription and must be placed within an area with cellular data coverage. After receiving and installing your Guardian device, you will be directed to purchase your subscription.

Subscription Cost and Details

Check If Your Tanks Have Coverage

We currently support Verizon in the United States. Additional networks and countries will be added over time. If you are interested in purchasing in a non-Verizon / USA coverage area, please get on the Non-Verizon Behlen Guardian Wait List.

Device Sensors

Water Level can be measured up to 6 feet (2 meters) deep. Water Temperature can range between -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C). Sensors are sampled every 15 minutes and reported every 3 hours.

Ag Tough

The Guardian is engineered for harsh environments and livestock interaction, made of high precision injection molded plastics for a water-tight seal and buoyancy, providing long-lasting value.

Power Switch Magnet

Removing the magnet will power the device and enable solar charging.

Solar Panel

The ruggedized solar panel keeps the battery charged.

Signal Indicator

The colored LED light will illuminate or blink indicating communication signal strength and status.

Status Indicator

The colored LED light will illuminate or blink indicating device status.

Scan To Activate

Scan the QR code to create your RealmFive account, activate the device, and install the Guardian for use on our award-winning R5 View software.

Optional

Tethering

Although the Guardian is designed to float on the water, optional tethering slots are located on both sides of the device for keeping it in place.

Engineered Ag-Tough

Using premium materials, the Guardian is made "Ag-Tough" to withstand harsh environments, livestock interaction, and diverse installations.

Precision Manufacturing

The Guardian is engineered for harsh environments and livestock interaction, made of high precision injection molded plastics for a water-tight seal and buoyancy, providing long-lasting value.

No Wires

No need to worry about an electrician. The Guardian is battery powered and designed to operate for years while the ruggedized solar panel keeps the battery charged.

Easy Install

Scan the QR code to create your RealmFive account, activate and install the Guardian with our award-winning R5 View software, and toss into the tank to start monitoring.

Created With You In Mind

We spent months listening to ranchers, feed lot managers, and horse caretakers to understand water management on the ranch so we could create a simple solution for water tank checks, saving you time, fuel, and money. 

You have better things to do than make unnecessary water tank checks. Let the Guardian by Behlen Country monitor and notify you throughout the day for any issues with low water levels or freezing and hot water temperatures.

Peace of Mind

Spending time with family, taking care of other chores, or working away from home are all hard to do while managing livestock, and temporary hired help isn’t always dependable. We were built to be dependable. Stay in touch with your livestock even when life takes you away.

Be Proactive

Getting in front of problems is a lot cheaper than fixing them after they occur. Be aware of water issues before they happen with customizable thresholds for water level and water temperature so you can receive alerts via SMS and/or email. Never let water problems catch you off-guard.

Easy to Use

You don’t have all day to install equipment so we made it easy. No brackets, no bolts, no batteries. Simply scan the QR code, follow the quick-install guide, and drop it in the tank. View all your tanks in one easy to use app. Guardian is engineered to deploy quickly and inform reliably.

Save Time and Labor

You want to be there for your livestock as much as possible and frequent tank-runs to check water cost time and money, but a dry tank will cost even more. We can help. Discover the savings of eliminating just one water check per week while also knowing your livestock have the water they need.
