Do you know the water quality in Mount Greenwood, Illinois? Is it safe to drink?

Water is getting contaminated all over the world including that of Mount Greenwood, Illinois. In USA, the EPA mandates water boards to comply with its standards. The water boards do their best to do, but the number of contaminants tested is limited and also infrequently. With increasing viruses, bacteria, PFA’s, micro-plastics, nitrates, pesticides, endocrine disruptors heavy metals like lead, radioactive waste it is very difficult and expensive to test water every day for all the contaminants.

Health studies show that the levels of contaminants should be much lower than in the standards.

We sincerely believe that water should be filtered to get rid of harmful contaminants from drinking water in Mount Greenwood, Illinois. It is essential for you and your loved ones’ health.

There are many technologies available to choose from. They differ in what each one filters out. There are two kinds of commonly available filters – Activated Carbon and Reverse Osmosis systems. Others include UV, Micro, Ultra, Nano, and Ion Exchange filters. Reverse Osmosis water filter systems are the most widely used cost effective systems to remove these harmful contaminants effectively down to 0.0001 microns.

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.

* 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.
