Secondary water supply addresses the challenge of insufficient pressure in municipal water networks. Installed above ground or in basements, these systems typically employ pneumatic pressurization, utilizing sealed tanks with compressed air to maintain water pressure. Compared to primary water sources, secondary supply systems are more susceptible to contamination, making real-time water quality monitoring imperative.
1.Infrastructure Degradation: Aging pipes in poorly managed systems lead to rust, scaling, and leaks, causing pressure fluctuations, contamination, and equipment failures that compromise drinking water safety.
2.Storage Facility Risks: Inadequate sealing in residential/commercial tanks permits entry of organic debris (e.g., animal remains) and garbage. Infrequent maintenance and disinfection cause severe water deterioration.
3.Operational Burden: Rapid urbanization has multiplied pumping stations, straining resources for monitoring, scheduling, alarm response, and maintenance—significantly increasing labor and operational costs.
Linksens' Online Domestic Water Quality Monitoring System establishes a comprehensive cyber-physical framework at critical nodes throughout secondary water supply infrastructure. This autonomous monitoring ecosystem employs multi-sensor fusion technology with hardened probes specifically engineered for pressurized pipeline environments, continuously capturing 12 essential parameters including residual chlorine (0-5mg/L ±0.05), turbidity (0-100NTU ±1%), pH (0-14 ±0.2), and conductivity (0-2000μS/cm ±1%). The system integrates edge computing gateways featuring adaptive calibration algorithms that automatically compensate for temperature/pressure interference, while ultrasonic self-cleaning mechanisms prevent biofilm accumulation in stagnant zones.
Operational data streams converge on our AquaMind® cloud platform where proprietary AI engines perform anomaly detection through machine learning models trained on 800,000+ contamination incident profiles. The system dynamically generates EPA-compliant reports and triggers tiered alerts: Level 1 warnings initiate automated valve closure when chlorine levels fall below 0.1mg/L; Level 3 emergencies activate SMS/pager notifications to maintenance teams within 15 seconds of detecting coliform risk indicators. For legacy infrastructure, our non-invasive sensor arrays enable retrofit installation without pipeline modifications, cutting deployment time by 70% compared to conventional solutions.
