AlgaeTracker:
A fast, simple way to monitor and protect your waterways

Key Measurements:​

  • Green algae: chlorophyll-a

  • Blue-green algae / cyanobacteria: phycocyanin

  • Turbidity

  • Water temperature 

  • Solar light, wind, rain

  • Live GPS

 

​Available add-on sensors:

  • pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Conductivity, Salinity, Dissolved Organic Matter, COD - UV254

​

Our dashboard map tracks GPS coordinates so you always know where your device is.

Detect algae blooms before they cause impacts

AlgaeTracker measures 6 key water parameters 48x / day and streams the data to a web dashboard so you get a 24/7 lens into your waterways from your office.

Time public warnings or water treatments proactively

Timing is everything when avoiding the impacts of HABs. Early detection means you can notify the public before accidents happen or schedule treatments preventatively rather than after disasters occur.

Amplify the reach of your monitoring team

AlgaeTracker's alerting system notifies you when contamination levels rise above set thresholds, so you check the right location at the right time, and skip the other sites. 

“The AlgaeTracker gives us 24/7 visibility into our water sites where we typically get a 10-15 day gap between surveys. This means we can get there ready to perform treatments when the cell counts are lower, use less chemical, and avoid the bad blooms. That keeps the park patrons happy and the regulatory agencies from having to show up with a ‘Closed’ sign. Looking forward to ramping up deployments!” 

Terry Mcnabb, President, AquaTechNex

“The AlgaeTrackers are a huge hit- other watersheds in New Brunswick want these devices to assist in early detection for cyanobacteria blooms. These units have been an absolute smash success- even if a bloom isn't occurring, 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!”

An amazingly powerful sensor buoy in a surprisingly small package

BubbleTrackerCrop.jpg

1.

Drop the lightweight buoy into the water. It immediately starts sending 6 key readings to the cloud every 30 minutes. Cellular is all taken care of.

2.

Our dashboard streams all the data live, displays rich graphs and color coded gauges, and sends you notifications at Action Thresholds.

3.

Early detection enables early action. When levels rise too high for your water, send a team member or water professional to assess for treatment.

Add-on sensors for a complete view of water quality

pH
 

pH is a key water quality indicator, affecting ecosystem health and usability. It influences chemical reactions, nutrient levels, and contaminant toxicity. Extreme pH can harm aquatic life, disrupt processes, and signal pollution.

Dissolved Oxygen
O

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is vital for water quality, supporting aquatic life and ecosystem health. It affects biological processes and signals pollution or environmental changes. Low DO can stress or kill organisms, making monitoring essential.

Conductivity

Conductivity and salinity indicate water quality by measuring dissolved ions, and can be linked to contamination sources like industrial discharge or runoff. They also help establish a baseline for tracking long-term changes.

Privacy and Security

You own the AlgaeTracker buoy and data. Your encrypted data is securely stored and never shared unless you choose to. Download it anytime as a CSV. Need custom transfers, APIs, or your own database? We’ve got you covered. Please get in touch.

"The AlgaeTracker buoy has provided some great insight into pond management right from our desktop in an easy-to-use interface.  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.  This is a great product that should have far reaching implementation possibilities for private pond owners, public beaches, and municipalities.  We can't wait to get more units in the water."
Jeff Stelzer, Lake and Pond Soulutions

APPLICATIONS

An IoT solution for any waterway

Water Utilities

Taste and odor compounds from algae can be extremely expensive to deal with. Trackers deployed around your reservoirs monitor multiple sites affordably, enabling you to intervene sooner, reducing OPEX and sampling.

Cities, municipalities

Recreational areas can become polluted quickly, risking human and pet health. AlgaeTrackers dramatically reduce your time to intervention or treatment, allowing you to prevent large outbreaks or ensure timely closure if necessary.

Lake associations, River Keepers

As a lake association, it's impossible for you to monitor the whole lake on your own. By setting up AlgaeTrackers at key locations, you can engage the help of aquatic control specialists promptly so algae doesn't take over.
