If you manage short-term rentals, you already monitor everything remotely. Except the one system that can shut down your entire property.

If you manage short-term rentals, you already monitor a lot.
You can:
Your phone gives you real-time visibility into almost everything.
Except one critical system.
How full your holding tank is.
For properties on septic or holding tanks, this is the blind spot.
You can see:
But the system that can shut down the entire property?
That one usually goes unmonitored.
Most owners and property managers don't know there's a problem until:
At that point, it's no longer maintenance. It's an emergency.
Many short-term rentals technically have a holding tank alarm.
The problem is who hears it.
A guest hears a buzzer or sees a warning light they don't recognize. They don't know what it means. They don't want to deal with it.
So they silence it.
Because they're on vacation.
The holding tank keeps filling. No one upstream is notified. And the next thing you know, there's wastewater where it definitely shouldn't be.
By the time a call comes in, you're already behind.
Local alarms assume:
That assumption doesn't hold in a short-term rental.
Guests aren't operators. They aren't owners. They aren't responsible for septic systems.
Silencing an alarm doesn't stop the problem, it just hides it.
Remote holding tank monitoring removes the guest from the equation entirely.
Instead of relying on:
You can:
It puts the holding tank on the same level as the rest of your smart property monitoring.
Visible.
Predictable.
Manageable.
Owners care about three things:
One septic or holding tank failure can:
Remote tank level monitoring helps avoid all of that, quietly.
Most owners never think about holding tanks until something goes wrong. Monitoring ensures they rarely have to.
Property managers live with the consequences of blind spots.
Remote septic and holding tank monitoring means:
It replaces "I think it was fine" with real data.
This isn't about over-engineering a rental.
It's about closing the last visibility gap.
If you can remotely monitor temperature, doors, cameras, and noise, you should also be able to remotely monitor the system that can shut the property down.
Anything else is still managing blind.
Rivio provides remote holding tank and septic level monitoring for short-term rental owners and property managers.
No Wi-Fi dependency.
No guest interaction.
No guesswork.
Just real-time visibility into a system that usually gets ignored until it becomes a problem.
Short-term rentals are already smart properties.
They just have one major blind spot.
If you can see everything else, you should be able to see this too.
Stop managing short-term rentals blind. Get remote visibility into holding tank and septic levels so you can handle maintenance proactively instead of emergencies reactively.
