Hardware And Installation Questions

This is typically determined by the voltage rating of the control valves (solenoids) on your tank.

If your valves operate on 24VAC, you should select the 24VAC controller model.
If your valves operate on 120VAC, you should select the 120VAC controller model.

Note: Always verify your valve specifications before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Your fermentation remains safe and controllable. TankNET® controllers are designed to operate stand-alone.1 This means they continue to regulate temperature automatically, and you can always walk up to the tank to view data or adjust setpoints manually right on the controller's display - even without a network connection.

Christian Palmaz

When developing the system, it didn't make sense to reinvent the wheel on the automation side, so we turned to TankNET® for the nuts and bolts, the end-to-end solution.

Michael McNeill

TankNET is indispensable to our operations. We've worked with them for over 20 years, and I truly can't imagine getting through harvest without it. Their support is equally impressive - competent and responsive, which is a real rarity these days
Michael McNeill, Hanzell Vineyards

Katz & Sjolund

With the automatic pumpover system, we went from 30 pumpovers per batch to over 100, at a steadier pace, not just squeezing them in. The result was richer color, more concentration, and better homogenization of aromas and flavors.
Katz & Sjolund, Aperture Cellars

Katie Rouse

TankNET is critical to our wine care at Bedrock. The data visualization tools allow us to graph Brix versus real-time temperature, helping us catch slow-downs before they become an issue. The technology is easy to use, and Greg's team is always quick to provide solutions whenever they're needed.
Katie Rouse, Bedrock Wine Co.

Brewmaster

TankNET® controls have already paid for themselves! Our fermentation profiles are finally consistent, batch after batch.
Brewmaster, Cigar City

Michael Averill

As long-time users of TankNET controllers, we wanted the simplicity of a wireless solution without the need to make a significant investment in Wi-Fi infrastructure. We moved forward with an initial installation of 30 controllers over six months ago and we have not had a single issue. This is now our preferred controller solution.
