Water Monitoring · Kenya

Clean water.
Productive farms.

Continuously monitor pH, conductivity, temperature and flow in your irrigation water, borehole or hydroponic system. Bad water silently destroys crops and soils — know before it's too late.

Water quality shapes everything downstream

Irrigation water with high salinity builds up salt in your soil over time, destroying its structure. A pH imbalance in a hydroponic system can make nutrients completely unavailable to plants overnight. Our sensors catch these problems in hours — not seasons.

What we measure

Four parameters. Total water clarity.

Continuous monitoring, timestamped data, and instant alerts — so you always know what's in your water before it reaches your crops.

7.2 pH
Water pH
pH determines whether nutrients dissolve and stay available. Too acidic or too alkaline — and your crops absorb almost nothing regardless of how much you fertilise.
AcidicNeutralAlkaline
1.8 mS/cm EC
Electrical Conductivity
EC measures dissolved salts in water. High EC from boreholes or rivers causes salinity build-up in your soil — silently degrading fertility season after season.
22 °C
Water Temperature
Water temperature affects dissolved oxygen levels, bacterial growth rates, and plant root uptake. Critical for hydroponics and fish farming systems.
Low Turbidity
Turbidity
Turbidity reveals suspended particles, sediment and contamination. High turbidity clogs drip systems, carries pathogens, and indicates upstream pollution events.
How it works in the water

One probe. Every depth. Continuous data.

Our sensor probes are submerged directly in your water source — borehole, reservoir, canal, or tank — reading conditions around the clock without any manual intervention.

Readings every 15 minutes, around the clock
Every data point is timestamped and stored — so you can see exactly what happened to your water quality during a heavy rain or a dry spell.
Instant alerts when quality drops
Set your own thresholds — pH too low, EC spiking, temperature too high. The moment a parameter drifts out of range, you get a message via SMS or WhatsApp.
Long-term trend analysis
Track seasonal patterns in your water source — see how EC builds up during the dry season, or how a nearby borehole changes after heavy rains upstream.

Where it works

Water sensors across Kenyan agriculture

Wherever water quality matters — from canal intakes to hydroponic tanks — our sensors give you continuous visibility.

Irrigation · Rift Valley & Eastern
Canal & borehole irrigation monitoring
High-EC borehole water gradually salts your soil, reducing yields every season without obvious warning signs. Our sensors catch the build-up early.
  • Alert when EC exceeds safe irrigation thresholds
  • Track pH to protect drip emitters from scaling
  • Turbidity spike detection after heavy rainfall
6.2
Hydroponics · Nairobi & Mombasa
Nutrient solution quality control
In hydroponics, pH and EC need to stay within tight bands at all times. Even a few hours outside the optimal range causes stunted growth and nutrient deficiencies.
  • 24/7 pH monitoring with alerts on drift
  • EC tracking ensures correct nutrient concentration
  • Temperature monitoring to prevent root zone stress
Boreholes · Nationwide
Borehole quality & contamination detection
Borehole water quality in Kenya can shift dramatically with seasons and nearby land use. Unexpected turbidity or salinity spikes often signal contamination events.
  • Baseline quality tracking across seasons
  • Early detection of turbidity or conductivity spikes
  • pH monitoring to flag potential contamination
Fish Farming · Rift Valley & Western
Pond water quality for aquaculture
Fish are acutely sensitive to temperature, pH and oxygen levels. A rapid pH shift or temperature spike can cause mass mortality in hours. Continuous monitoring prevents catastrophic losses.
  • pH and temperature monitoring to protect fish health
  • Turbidity tracking for pond clarity and algae risk
  • Instant alerts for rapid parameter changes
