Flash Funding Success Story: WaterBot

Did you know…

That 71% of earth’s surface is covered by water? And that 90% of Americans receive their water via a municipal source? 

This home receives it water from some portion of over 1,000,000 miles of water mains in the US, but we have over 240,000 water main breaks in the country every year.

We all deserve access to clean, drinkable water, but how do we go about improving safety while reducing infrastructure costs? With real-time detection of contamination brought to you by WaterBot, a conveniently compact real-time water quality monitor.

Simply install to a standard kitchen line and WaterBot will connect to the internet and provide cognitive real-time detection of any contamination, including measurements of total dissolved solids and temperature. It can then send the information to a consumer smart device.

Remember, if you need to make your water safer to use and consume, you need accurate evidence communicating that need. And when you’re talking about something as important as clean water, you want instant, actionable feedback. You also want the most reliable software and components provided by IBM, TE Connectivity, and Analog Devices.

IBM

WaterBot monitors water quality in real time checking total dissolved solids and other contaminants with a powerful and secure database driven by IBM Bluemix. What makes WaterBot so unique is that every WaterBot is connected to every other WaterBot, utilizing an IoT framework to create a social network of devices.

TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity’s resistor and connector portfolio provides product reliability and precision through tight tolerance restrictions, ideal material selection, and superior product technology.

Analog Devices

Analog Devices’ technologies enable the accurate and low power measurement performance in the WaterBot system, with power management, data converter, OP Amp, analog switch and data isolation components.
