EPA Standards Miss Many Chemicals in Drinking Water, Study SaysMore
Data-Driven Route Scheduling for Water Service Companies
A calendar treats every customer the same — same interval, same cost. Some sites have 60 days of filter life left. Others failed two weeks ago. TDSBot replaces the calendar with a priority list built from actual depletion data.
Three things TDSBot fixes for water service companies
Some sites have filters with 60 days left. Others failed two weeks ago. TDSBot tells you which is which before you dispatch — your route plan becomes a priority list, not a calendar.
TDSBot alerts before the filter fails — you arrive before the problem and show the customer their filter history on a tablet. Customers who see their data don’t leave.
TDSBot surfaces problems customers don't know they have — LSI predicting scale, Larson-Skold showing corrosion, % in-range revealing out-of-spec days. Data-backed service conversations, not pitches.
One dashboard. Every customer type.
Different thresholds per site.
TDSBot lets you set different TDS alert thresholds for each customer site based on their application. A coffee machine needs different water than an office water cooler. Your dispatch board shows all of them in one view — flagging the ones that need attention, sorted by urgency.
Filter exhaustion is a taste and warranty event. TDSBot tracks TDS, LSI and cumulative hardness. Technician arrives with the full history on a tablet.
High-throughput floors exhaust filters faster than low-occupancy ones — all on the same schedule. TDSBot sorts every site by actual remaining life.
Combi ovens, warewashers, ice machines — each with different thresholds. One hotel can have 6 TDSBot devices, each with its own depletion timeline.
TDS above 10 ppm leaves spots. When the membrane degrades, spotting begins. Your service call arrives before the customer notices.
Continuous TDS and conductivity logs for labs and clinical environments. Immediate alert on any threshold breach — no calendar-based sampling.
Home RO, under-sink filters, small offices — longest tail, hardest to manage at scale. TDSBot turns a quarterly call into a data-driven visit.
Scale on evaporator plates above 125 mg/L is invisible until the machine fails. TDSBot tracks hardness load and alerts for descaling before ice production is lost.
Process water consistency matters for product consistency. TDSBot monitors multiple points and reports % time in spec for batch documentation.
The before and after of data-driven dispatch
Every water service company running on a calendar is making two mistakes simultaneously — visiting sites that don't need attention, and missing sites that do. TDSBot eliminates both by giving the dispatch team a real-time priority view.
Three ways TDSBot generates revenue for your business
Partner pricing on TDSBot hardware means every installation generates margin before the first service visit. The device sits at your customer's site, monitors their water, and creates your ongoing service relationship. Hardware margin is yours — the prices shown on this site are consumer/direct pricing.
Bundle TDSBot monitoring into your service contract as a recurring revenue line. Partner SaaS rates create margin between your cost and your customer price — yours to keep or invest in winning premium contracts. At scale across a fleet, this becomes a material annual recurring revenue line.
TDSBot data reveals upgrade opportunities your customers don't know they need. LSI showing scale risk → quarterly descale contract. Larson-Skold showing corrosion → inhibitor dosing service. Low % in-range report → equipment upgrade.
Service company partners receive preferential hardware and SaaS pricing. At 200 monitored devices, the recurring SaaS margin is material — the right scale to discuss when you contact us.
Data your technicians can talk to customers about
The best upsell happens when your technician arrives at a site with data the customer hasn't seen. These aren't fabricated selling points — they're real readings from the customer's own TDSBot device, explained in plain language during the service visit.
Train your service team on three conversations. They're all data-backed, all relevant to the customer's own equipment, and all lead to a higher-value service contract.
“Your water is scale-forming at the temperature your oven runs at. This is what's costing you an extra 10% on energy and shortening the element life. We can put you on a quarterly descale programme — I can show you what your cumulative hardness load has been over the last 90 days.”
“Your filter was within spec only 67% of the time last month. I can show you exactly which days it ran out of range and for how long. This is probably why your espresso machine is showing early wear. You might need to go from a 6-month to a 4-month change at this location.”
“Your water chemistry is aggressive toward steel — specifically, the chloride and sulphate levels are high enough to cause pitting corrosion inside your boiler, independently of the scale. A corrosion inhibitor dosing unit would address this. Here’s the Larson-Skold reading from your TDSBot.”
The hierarchy is built in. Your customers are yours.
TDSBot's distributor model comes with an account protection policy designed to prevent the channel conflicts that kill distribution partnerships. If you install a TDSBot on a piece of equipment at a customer site, that specific install is protected in your account — WaterTDS and other dealers can't access or poach it. Protection is scoped to the water purifier you install on, not the entire physical address: a multi-location brand can have different sites served by different dealers in different territories, and a single site can have different water purifiers (two purifiers, for example one feeding the espresso machine and one feeding the ice machine) served by different specialist dealers, each independently protected under its own account.
The four-tier hierarchy — WaterTDS → master distributor → service company / dealer → end customer — is built into the platform. Your customers see only their own sites. You see all your customers. WaterTDS doesn’t contact, sell to or service your customers’ protected installs.
Protection is per water purifier, not per site or per brand. Each device you install is registered to your service company account, covering that specific water purifier — no other dealer or WaterTDS direct sales can access, contact or service that install without your consent. A single site can have multiple water purifiers (two purifiers, for example one feeding the espresso machine and one feeding the ice machine) served by different specialist dealers, each independently protected; a multi-location customer can likewise have different sites served by different dealers in different territories. Broader exclusivity across a customer's full site or footprint is available as a separately negotiated term for qualifying volume. Documented in your dealer agreement.
Your dashboard shows all your customer sites. You do not see other dealers' customers. Your customers see only their own devices. The hierarchy enforces privacy at every tier.
The WaterTDS dealer agreement covers: wholesale pricing, account protection, data rights, territory (if applicable), and termination terms. Non-exclusive by default — exclusive territory available for volume commitments.
Raw sensor readings (TDS, conductivity, temperature, flow, timestamps) belong to your customer. While you service a site, you can view and export them from your account. The analytics layer is ours: alert logic, depletion models, LSI/LS calculations and fleet intelligence. You receive the outputs; the method stays with us. WaterTDS may use readings in perpetuity for its public city water quality pages and to improve its models. City pages show a citywide average, never device locations or account details.
Hardware once.
Monitoring monthly.

What the sensor sends,
and how often
All three plans measure every minute — what changes is how often data leaves the sensor, and which analysis runs on it.
