Internet-of-things enabled deionization tank configuration artificial intelligence algorithm

A method of treating water in a water treatment system, the method comprising:

• introducing water to be treated into an ion exchange bed of the water treatment system to produce treated water;
• receiving an output water quality indication from a controller associated with the ion exchange bed;
• determining, by an algorithm, responsive to the output water quality indication, whether to replace the ion exchange bed based on a remaining capacity of the ion exchange bed, current operational parameters of the water treatment system, and historical data regarding operation of the water treatment system;
• and
• responsive to the output water quality indication, providing, by the algorithm, a recommendation to a service provider of the water treatment system that there is one of no action required, that the ion exchange bed should be monitored, or that a service order for replacement of the ion exchange bed should be generated, and an indication of a confidence level of the provided recommendation.
