Continuous colour monitoring.
Stop discolouration before
it reaches the tap.
Real-time apparent and true colour monitoring. Detect the iron, manganese, organic matter and treatment by-products that drive discolouration, before a visible event becomes a wave of complaints.
Example readings for illustration purposes
What you can’t see
is already costing you.
Issues are flagged after damage is done, not before it starts. Every delayed alert is a cost you didn’t have to carry.
Manual records, missed checks, and audit gaps across sites. When an inspector asks for evidence, the scramble begins.
pH, chlorine, or turbidity can shift for days or weeks before anyone notices. Without real-time monitoring, you’re always reacting.
Continuous monitoring.
Instant alerts. Full audit trail.
Three connected layers that turn raw sensor data into actionable intelligence, automatically.
Connected sensors stream real-time data across all parameters, 24 hours a day. Cellular and LoRaWAN telemetry with encrypted payloads.
Threshold breaches trigger instant SMS, email, or app notifications. Escalation rules and role-based routing ensure the right person acts.
Cloud dashboards give your team the data, trendlines, and records they need, instantly. Every reading logged, every action auditable.
Every parameter.
One connected system.
From standard chemistry to full-spectrum UV-Vis sensing, AQUAIOT covers every dimension of water quality your operation demands.
Continuous acidity and alkalinity monitoring. Detect corrosion risk, Legionella-risk conditions, and treatment performance drift.
Detect particulate contamination, filter breakthrough, and process upsets in real time.
Continuous disinfection residual monitoring. Ensure treatment efficacy without manual sampling delays.
Monitor oxygen levels critical for biological process control, aeration efficiency, and environmental compliance.
Track dissolved mineral content and detect contamination events, cross-connections, or treatment changes in real time.
Specsens UV-Vis sensing at the edge. Detect organic load, humic substances, and complex contamination signatures beyond single-parameter sensors.
Detect apparent and true colour changes that may indicate natural organic matter, iron, manganese, or treatment by-products.
Oxidation-reduction potential monitoring for disinfection effectiveness, redox conditions, and process control in treatment and distribution.

Colour is both an aesthetic and a compliance parameter, and it is the one most visible to the public. A discolouration event, driven by iron and manganese release, natural organic matter, or treatment by-products, generates complaints quickly and erodes confidence even when the water is safe. The change often builds gradually before it becomes obvious.
AQUAIOT monitors apparent and true colour continuously with the SPS-Color-C sensor, streaming live readings to the cloud. Rising colour is flagged by threshold alert while it is still subtle, giving operators time to adjust treatment, flush a zone or investigate a source before discoloured water reaches consumers and the call centre.
- Continuous apparent and true colour measurement
- Early detection of iron, manganese and organic colour
- Prevents visible discolouration events reaching consumers
- Supports aesthetic compliance and complaint reduction
