Abstract: A connected water monitoring system including a plurality of sensors, each of which monitors a respective condition is provided. A hub device receives and stores respective information from each of the plurality of sensors indicative of a current status of the respective condition monitored by a respective one of the plurality of sensors. A cloud server communicates with the hub device via a network. The respective information includes one or more values sensed by each of the plurality of sensors. The hub device transmits one or both of the one or more values or the respective information to the cloud server. The cloud server determines when one or both of the one or more values or the respective information from each of the plurality of sensors indicate that one or more connected water monitoring system components require maintenance and, responsive thereto, execute an automatic maintenance process.

Abstract: A flexible wafer probe for testing the level of dissolved solids in a water source and a method of use are provided. The probe may have an adhesive coating so that the probe may be affixed to a surface, such as the interior of a conduit. The flexibility of the probe may allow the probe to be affixed to surfaces of various shapes. The probe may have a low profile such that it does not impede water flow through the conduit. The probe may be provided in the form of a flexible, thin circular pad composed of three layers. The first and third layers may compose the outside surfaces of the probe and may render the probe waterproof. The measuring instruments of the probe may be affixed to the second layer and exposed to the water through apertures that extend through the first layer of the probe.

Abstract: A reverse osmosis water system including a housing, a reverse osmosis cartridge, an unfiltered waterline, and a blend waterline. The housing includes an inlet and an outlet. A medial waterline transports pretreated water to the reverse osmosis cartridge. An unfiltered waterline includes a flow restrictor. A blend waterline transports a blended water mixture to the outlet. The blended waterline receives filtered water at a first flowrate from the medial waterline and unfiltered water at a second flowrate downstream of the flow restrictor. The flow restrictor provides the second flowrate at a substantially equal rate to the first flowrate.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a reverse osmosis water filtration system including a housing, a pre-filter cartridge, a reverse osmosis cartridge, and a post treatment cartridge. A medial water line transports a first portion of pretreated water from the pre-filter cartridge to the reverse osmosis cartridge. An unfiltered water line includes a flow restrictor and blend valve. The unfiltered water line is fluidly coupled between the medial water line and a blend water line. The blend water line receives filtered water at a first flowrate from the reverse osmosis cartridge and unfiltered water at a second flowrate from the blend valve. The first flowrate and the second flowrate are substantially equal to produce a consistent total dissolved solids value.
