KETOS SHIELD offers instantaneous water quality monitoring for potassium – but we don’t stop there. With one device, gain insights into 30+ water testing parameters without high upfront investment expenditures via out $0-CAPEX model.
KETOS SHIELD provides accurate, real-time monitoring for potassium and 30+ other water testing parameters. As a fully-integrated water management solution, devices are interoperable and modular and work within existing water infrastructure, so organizations don’t have to disrupt their production to build better insights.
While potassium is rarely found in water at levels that would be unsafe for humans, it is an element often used in water softeners. Previously, water softening systems used a different salt, and the discharge created issues around salinity in water systems and public sewers. As a result, water treatment companies began offering salt-free softeners (leveraging potassium) to treat hard water.
Using potassium in the process of water softening allows organizations to avoid scale buildup and avoid hard minerals from adhering to the interior of pipes. This buildup and scaling can affect equipment and cause unnecessary downtime. Therefore, monitoring the potassium levels in operations leveraging water softening technology will help operators understand the hardness of their water, helping to prevent instances of scale.
Potassium is a critical plant macronutrient and is most commonly added through fertilizers in high quantities.
Potassium, an essential nutrient for plant growth and human health, can be naturally occurring in water sources or introduced through agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, and industrial processes. While potassium is vital for various biological functions, elevated levels in water can pose certain challenges and concerns. Here are key issues associated with potassium in water:
Monitoring water for potassium is a great start. Gain even more insights by tracking even more parameters (30+).
While monitoring potassium marks a solid beginning, broaden your insights by tracking over 30 additional parameters with KETOS. From pH to heavy metals, our platform offers comprehensive water analysis, empowering your organization with thorough data for effective water quality management and regulatory compliance.
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.
