New Zealand, meet X42.
We're proud to announce that the X42 Tank Monitor is now officially available in New Zealand through our dedicated import partner, 1081 Trading Limited, based in Auckland.
That means local stock, local shipping in New Zealand, and local support for Kiwi tank owners, through the new x42monitoring.co.nz online store.
Why New Zealand?
New Zealand has over 400,000 homes on rainwater supply. From Northland lifestyle blocks to Canterbury farms to off-grid builds in the Sounds, Kiwis face the same challenge as rural Australians: you rely on your tank, but you have no idea how much water is actually in it.
The conditions are familiar too, remote properties, patchy internet coverage, tanks sitting hundreds of metres from the house, and weather that can swing from drought to deluge in a week. These are exactly the conditions the X42 was built for.
No internet? No problem. The X42 doesn't need Wi-Fi, cellular coverage, or an app. The sensor node communicates directly to the Homebase in your home via long-range LoRa radio up to 1 km. That matters in rural New Zealand, where reliable internet isn't a given.

Perfect for New Zealand Conditions
If you've spent any time on a rural NZ property, you already know the deal. The tank is around the back, or down the hill, or in the next paddock. The internet drops out when the weather turns. And the weather turns a lot.
The X42 was designed for exactly this. Here's why it works where other monitors don't:
| Challenge | How X42 Handles It |
|---|---|
| Tank is far from the house | LoRa radio reaches up to 1 km, through bush and walls |
| No internet at the property | Fully standalone, no Wi-Fi, no cellular, no cloud |
| Multiple tanks on property | One Homebase monitors up to 4 tanks |
| Concrete, poly, and steel tanks | Works with all common tank types and sizes |
| Don't want ongoing costs | One-time purchase, no subscription, no data fees, ever |
| Want it working today | Installs in 10 minutes, no trades, no tools, no app setup |
A Trans-Tasman Partnership
X42 Monitoring has always been a proudly Australian product, designed and manufactured in rural Queensland. Expanding into New Zealand with a dedicated local partner was a natural next step.
Australia and New Zealand share more than a border rivalry. We share the same reliance on rainwater in regional areas, the same frustration with subscription-based IoT products, and the same expectation that if you buy something, it should just work, without needing an app, an account, or a monthly invoice.
1081 Trading Limited shares that philosophy, and we're excited to have them bringing X42 to Kiwi households, farms, and lifestyle blocks.
