Monitoring water quality is essential for operational efficiency, compliance, and public health. Traditional manual testing is slow and error-prone, but KETOS transforms this process with real-time data and predictive analytics. By automating water quality monitoring, KETOS helps organizations enhance accuracy, ensure compliance, and reduce costs.
Comprehensive Monitoring with KETOS SHIELD
The KETOS SHIELD revolutionizes water quality management by automating real-time monitoring with lab-level precision. It replaces manual sampling and laboratory analysis, providing immediate insights into water quality conditions.
The device monitors over 30 key parameters, including pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Dissolved Oxygen, and heavy metals like arsenic, lead, copper, and mercury. These metrics ensure compliance, detect contaminants, and maintain safe water systems.
Continuous monitoring helps operators detect and resolve issues like elevated lead levels or pH fluctuations before they escalate, reducing costs and risks. Real-time data enables proactive measures to safeguard water quality.
| Category | Parameters |
| Essential Indicators | pH, TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, Conductivity, Temperature |
| Heavy Metals | Arsenic, Lead, Copper, Mercury, Manganese, Zinc, Chromium |
| Nutrient Levels | Nitrates, Nitrites, Orthophosphates-P, Total Ammonia Nitrogen |
| Other Contaminants | Fluoride, Free Chlorine, Residual Chlorine, Salinity |
| Calculated Metrics | Langelier Saturation Index, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium |
With automated monitoring, the KETOS SHIELD saves time, enhances accuracy, and reduces risks. Its precision makes it essential for industries and municipalities committed to maintaining high water quality standards.
Real-Time Data and Predictive Insights
Traditional water quality testing often involves isolated data collection, leading to delays in addressing issues. The KETOS Smart Water Intelligence Platform changes this by offering real-time monitoring and analysis. Water operators gain immediate access to critical metrics, enabling quick decisions and efficient resource allocation.
KETOS leverages machine learning for predictive insights. By analyzing historical data, the platform identifies patterns, forecasts water quality conditions, and anticipates issues like algal blooms or equipment corrosion. This allows operators to act proactively and ensure regulatory compliance.
Predictive analytics also support maintenance planning. Anomalies in water data can signal when servicing or recalibration is needed, reducing downtime and extending equipment lifespan. Research shows that machine learning-based tools detect early signs of water quality changes, enhancing operational reliability.
Seamless Integration and Connectivity
The KETOS platform excels in seamless integration, connecting effortlessly with existing infrastructure like SCADA systems, cloud platforms, and other data sources. With connectivity options such as LoRa, WiFi, and cellular networks, the platform adapts to diverse environments—from remote agricultural fields to urban water treatment facilities.
Integrated systems aggregate data into a centralized warehouse, where it is automatically structured for analysis. This allows operators to access actionable insights without requiring specialized data science expertise. Outbound APIs further enhance customization, enabling water quality data to merge with other operational metrics for a unified system overview.
By unifying data sources and automating reporting, KETOS eliminates operational silos and fosters collaboration across departments. For operators managing complex networks, this connectivity translates into streamlined operations, improved accuracy, and greater efficiency.
Cost-Effective Solutions with a $0 CAPEX Model
High upfront costs often deter organizations from adopting advanced water monitoring technologies. KETOS eliminates this hurdle with a $0 CAPEX model. Instead of significant initial investments, customers pay an annual service fee that covers everything: hardware, installation, maintenance, and unlimited testing.
The annual fee includes automated reporting, real-time alerts, and predictive analytics—ensuring no hidden costs. This approach allows organizations to allocate budgets flexibly while accessing a comprehensive solution tailored to their needs.
Maintenance is minimal with the KETOS SHIELD, which requires no cleaning or calibration. This reduces labor costs and minimizes disruptions. Unlimited testing ensures organizations can monitor water quality as often as needed without extra fees, while real-time alerts enable rapid response to potential issues.
| Feature | Benefit |
| Hardware & Installation | Included—no upfront investment required. |
| Maintenance | No calibration or cleaning—lower labor costs. |
| Unlimited Testing | Test as often as needed without extra charges. |
| Real-Time Alerts | Instant notifications to address issues promptly. |
| Predictive Analytics | Forecast issues for proactive maintenance. |
This cost-effective model ensures operational efficiency and scalability. Organizations can easily expand their monitoring capabilities without financial strain, especially in resource-constrained environments.
These benefits align with the latest updates to the KETOS Smart Water Intelligence Platform, featuring advanced analytics, improved scalability, and enhanced usability. Learn more about these updates in Smart Water Magazine.
With KETOS, industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and municipalities can adopt cutting-edge water monitoring technologies, ensuring affordability and sustainability without compromise.
Applications Across Diverse Sectors
KETOS solutions are versatile, serving multiple industries by providing real-time water quality monitoring and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
| Sector | Applications |
| Industrial | Monitor influent and effluent water quality to prevent equipment damage and regulatory violations. Detect contaminants like heavy metals to comply with environmental guidelines. |
| Agriculture | Provide real-time data on parameters such as nitrates, phosphates, and salinity to optimize irrigation practices, improve soil health, and reduce waste, leading to better crop quality and profitability. |
| Municipalities | Autonomously monitor multiple parameters, including microbial contamination and chemical pollutants, to ensure public water systems meet stringent EPA standards for safe drinking water. |
| Energy | Automate water quality testing at every stage of water use to adhere to strict regulatory standards and ensure compliance with local regulations. |
