Real Time Water Quality in Phoenix, Arizona is
Daily TDS 206 ppm, Weekly TDS 209 ppm

TDS [Total Dissolved Solids] [ppm] is used worldwide as the standard for determining water quality. Typically, higher the TDS the more contaminants are in the water. Whether we live in or planning to move to Phoenix, Arizona, we would like to know if drinking tap water is safe* or is the water hard.

The Tap Water Quality in Phoenix, Arizona is affected by various factors but generally meets federal and state regulations. The local water utility that manages Phoenix's water supply is Phoenix Water Services.

Key Points about Phoenix's Water Quality:

Source: Phoenix's water primarily comes from surface water sources, including rivers such as the Salt River and Verde River, as well as groundwater wells.
Testing and Standards: Phoenix Water Services conducts regular testing of the water supply to ensure it meets the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) standards.
Water Hardness: The water in Phoenix is known to be quite hard, containing high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. This mineral content is common in water sourced from rivers and underground wells, leading to potential issues such as scale build-up in plumbing fixtures.
Common Concerns: Common concerns among Phoenix residents include the taste and odor of the tap water, which can be attributed to the mineral content and treatment processes. Additionally, contaminants such as heavy metals and pollutants, although kept within regulatory limits, can sometimes raise health concerns.

While Phoenix's tap water is officially considered safe for consumption, some residents may prefer using additional protective measures. It is recommended to use water purifiers to remove any potential contaminants and water softeners to address problems associated with water hardness. These steps can help ensure safe and palatable water for daily use.

What do we do? How do we help?

We have developed the TDSBot, an inexpensive IOT device that monitors, in real time, the Incoming and Outgoing TDS levels, temperature, flow rate and cumulative volume of water filtered. Easy to install, it works with all water purifiers including, sediment, GAC, Carbon, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse Osmosis water filters. Key benefits:

Know the incoming and filtered water quality in real time.
Know the volume of water filtered by day, week, month and total.
Know in advance when to change filter cartridges. Too often we tend to realize that they need changing after the water purifier has stopped working or worse, when the water smells bad.
Change filters only when needed. Sometimes filters perform longer than their standard life due to better incoming water or lower usage. Reduce waste and save money.
Quality data collected is aggregated to show real time water quality data to all the community.

TDSBot can be installed on water purifiers from Pentair, Culligan, 3M, Brita, BWT, iSpring, and most other brands. Supports sediment, GAC, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse osmosis filters. It can remotely monitor filters attached to Coffee machines, Ice makers, soda fountains, water dispensers, ovens, laundry & dish washing, car wash found at Cafes, convenient stores, healthcare facilities, hotels, offices, restaurants, colleges, schools, hydroponic systems, and many more.

Ensure safe and healthy drinking water

Sustainability Impact Insights

TDSBot can generate a variety of sustainability data, including water usage metrics, identify areas of reducing water waste, leak detection and prevention, extend filter and equipment lifespan, predictive maintenance alerts to extend equipment life and reduce environmental impact.

Sustainability data can be easily showcased on your corporate website or publicly shared on your social media

Learn About Water Quality

* A definition specific to a few codes is that “Safe drinking water” means water that meets all primary and secondary drinking water standards. Drinking water standards are set based on potential health impacts and also take into account the cost to meet the drinking water standard. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines drinking water as safe when humans can drink it with low risk of immediate or long-term harm to your health. Although there may be health risks associated with certain contaminants found in drinking water not all contaminants are necessarily harmful.
