Abstract
A method of providing end-to-end water quality control from a water system operator to a point of delivery proximate a consumer. The method includes treating the water and delivering the water to the consumer at the point of delivery, filtering/purifying the water at the point of delivery, monitoring water quality at the point of delivery, reporting water quality at the point of delivery to the water system operator over a network, monitoring total water volume at the point of delivery, and reporting total water volume at the point of delivery to the water system operator over a network.
Claims23
A method of providing end-to-end water quality control from a water system operator to a point of delivery proximate a consumer and outside of a water distribution system of the water system operator, comprising:
- treating water using customized filters after the water leaves the water distribution system of the water system operator;
- delivering the water to the consumer at the point of delivery, the point of delivery being outside of the water distribution system of the water system operator;
- purifying the water at the point of delivery;
- monitoring water quality at the point of delivery to provide water quality data;
- predicting water quality at the point of delivery based on reporting of water usage and the water quality data;
- and
- wherein the customized filters being customized based on the water quality data.
A method for providing a replacement customized water filter, comprising:
- remotely monitoring water quality over a period of time using one or more sensors at a location proximate a water filter to collect water quality data;
- reporting the water quality data;
- customizing a replacement water filter to replace the water filter based on the water quality data;
- determining a replacement time associated with the water filter prior to the replacement time based on reported water usage measurements.
A method of providing end-to-end water quality control from a water system operator to a point of delivery proximate a consumer and outside of a water distribution system of the water system operator, comprising:
- treating the water;
- delivering the water to the consumer at the point of delivery outside of the water distribution system of the water system operator;
- purifying the water at the point of delivery;
- monitoring water quality at the point of delivery after the purifying to generate water quality data;
- reporting the water quality data to the water system operator over a network;
- and
- using the water quality data to affect water treatment or purifying.
