The water quality in Draper, Utah, reflects the city’s commitment to delivering clean and safe water to its residents. The local water utility serving Draper is Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, ensuring that the water quality meets all necessary health and safety standards.

Key Points about Draper's Water Quality:

  1. Source: Draper's water is sourced from a combination of surface water reservoirs and groundwater wells. The surface water comes from the canyon streams and reservoirs, while groundwater is drawn from large aquifers.
  2. Testing and Standards: The water undergoes regular testing by the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to ensure compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) standards. These tests confirm the absence of harmful pathogens and chemicals.
  3. Water Hardness: Water in Draper is classified as moderately hard. This means it contains significant concentrations of calcium and magnesium, which can lead to scale buildup on fixtures and appliances over time, impacting their efficiency and lifespan.
  4. Common Concerns: While the water in Draper is treated to minimize taste and odor issues, some residents may notice a slight mineral taste or chlorine odor. These characteristics are not harmful, but residents sensitive to these factors might prefer using a water filter to enhance taste.

Overall, Draper's tap water is considered safe for consumption and household use. However, considering the moderate hardness, residents are encouraged to use water softeners to reduce mineral deposits, and water purifiers to improve the taste, ensuring optimal water quality for personal preferences.

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.
