Monitor via an interoperable, modular system that uploads your data to the cloud, allowing for secure 24/7 access to water data.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral typically released from rocks into the environment, including existing water supplies. All water contains some amount of fluoride, but the levels that occur in nature are not high enough to prevent tooth decay. Community water fluoridation has been widely initiated across the country as a cost-effective way to deliver fluoride to entire communities, reducing tooth decay by 25%. In 2018, 73% of the US population had access to community water systems containing added fluoride; the goal is to have 77% of Americans accessing water with fluoride by 2030.
The maximum amount of allowable fluoride in drinking water supplies is 4.0 mg/L. The EPA also has a secondary standard of 2.0 mg/L (although this level is unenforceable). This is the level of fluoride explicitly recommended to protect children from tooth pitting/discoloration caused by too much fluoride exposure before the eruption of teeth. While the EPA does not require compliance, it requires notification sent to customers if the average water levels exceed their 2.0 mg/L standard.
As fluoride is a necessary part of public health and often delivered by municipal water systems, it’s essential to monitor for levels to protect constituents.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is often added to drinking water supplies for its dental health benefits. However, excessive fluoride levels in water can lead to various concerns and challenges. Here are key issues associated with fluoride in water:
Don’t just stop at fluoride. KETOS enables organizations to choose from a variety of water testing parameters to customize their testing to their organizational requirements.
Extend your water testing beyond fluoride with KETOS. Empowering organizations to tailor their testing, KETOS offers a range of water testing parameters for customization. From heavy metals to microbial contaminants, select parameters aligning with organizational needs for comprehensive water quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
Whether you need to measure the Langelier Saturation Index in industrial cooling water, detect free chlorine in wastewater, or monitor fluoride in the glass manufacturing industry, KETOS’ automated water monitoring can save you time and reduce compliance issues.
The KETOS SHIELD remotely monitors dozens of water quality parameters. Which one do your water operators test most often?
KETOS is a fully integrated platform that combines hardware, software, connectivity, automated reporting, predictive analytics, and maintenance to automate water monitoring and testing. KETOS enables water operators to identify and solve mission-critical water efficiency and quality challenges in real-time, or before they happen through predictive algorithms, to ensure that water meets specific quality and safety standards.
