How It Works
1. Measure
Sensors read the water: built into the AlgaeTracker at the surface, or on a TrackerSonde or single sensor from the surface down to 200 m.
2. Connect
An AlgaeTracker or Sentinel on the water, or a TrackerNode on shore or indoors, powers the sensors and sends data over managed cellular.
3. See and Act
Live readings, alerts and trends on the AquaRealTime dashboard from any browser, or sent straight to your SCADA system through our API.
What Our Clients Say​
Working with AquaRealTime is… it’s easy… It takes one person. They’re very small and lightweight… They’re online instantly… and then they don’t require a lot of maintenance either.”
Jessica Glowczewski, Watershed Superintendent, City of Akron, Ohio
“
Having access to real-time lab-quality data at my fingertips on my phone or my computer is something that I really can't live without."
Tony Guida, Lead Project Manager, Nano Infusion Technologies, Colorado
“
“
We've been able to monitor pond conditions, place pre-emptive phone calls to clients, and treat before algae becomes a major issue. Turbidity measurements also allow us to predict and monitor effects of runoff and make more timely management decisions."
Jeff Stelzer, Sr. Biologist, Lake and Pond Solutions Co, Wisconsin
“
These units have been an absolute smash success… having a device that collects water quality data, in real time, with such ease of use, has been an incredible asset for our monitoring programs!"
Sarah Blenis, Hammond River Angling Association, New Brunswick
