Water Treatment Awareness
Buckman Digital Water can turn water treatment from a mysterious chore into a more simplified, effortless experience… AND make your business more sustainable for the future.
Manage system performance around the clock
Buckman Digital Water offers a convenient way to manage your industrial water system’s performance around the clock without adding to your workload. Our water experts in the Insights Lab will remotely monitor your system 24/7, analyze your data, and manage alarms on your behalf. It’s like having a team of experts always keeping an eye on your system.
Imagine your system experiences an overflowing tower basin or a blowdown valve cracked wide open by mistake. Insights Lab experts can quickly identify the problem, remotely fix issues where possible, and alert your team if on-site intervention is needed. Of course, a normal water treater is responsible for interpreting data and correcting issues like these. The key difference is the speed to action.
With Buckman Digital Water, you can make continuous adjustments in the moment, instead of waiting for weeks until the rep comes by. This can help you avoid prolonged downtime and optimize how your industrial water system performs. Plus, our technology allows for continuous adjustments in real-time, so you can take action as soon as a problem arises.

Understand your water at a glance
Understanding the technical details of your industrial water system can be overwhelming. With Buckman Digital Water’s mobile app, you can get a quick overview of your system’s status and how it affects your business outcomes.
The home screen features four color-coded tiles that indicate your system status. A green tile says all is well, a yellow tile shows that Buckman has handled an issue for you remotely, and a red tile means you should take specified actions right away.
You can even respond to notifications within the app — for example, if we notify you that we increased your biocide feed because an ORP level was lower than expected, you can tap to approve or reject the change. If you need more information, you can open any tile to see the underlying technical data. This way, you can stay in control and make decisions about your water system no matter where you are.

Put readings into context
Context directly affects the decisions you make about your water treatment system. With Buckman Digital Water, you can use advanced technology to put your water treatment system readings into context, so you can make more informed decisions. Our hardware, software, and sensors are designed to work together in a way that makes water treatment as clear as you need it to be, providing wireless capabilities so that you can connect them anywhere in your facility.
When you think about context, imagine that one of your sensors gives you a pH alarm but you aren’t sure how to resolve it or why it’s occurring. With our technologies, including ProcessView, everyone on your team and our Insights Lab will know where each sensor is, what it’s connected to, and when each reading happened. That’s what makes it possible to manage your system remotely.

Translate alarms into action
Alarms are not helpful if they are too technical and you have to wait for your rep to help. With Buckman Digital Water, you can translate alarms into immediate action. That’s possible because our Insights Lab monitors your water treatment system 24/7, reviewing alarms and fine-tuning your system remotely. When you need to take action locally, we’ll alert your team with clear instructions and information.
For example, if your system triggers a low conductivity alarm, our experts will have enough context and data from all the sensors we are tracking to identify that it may be due to an overflowing tower, and guide you to check the float valve for that cooling tower basin.
By knowing exactly what to do, you can quickly and effectively solve problems. That means you could stop water and chemicals from going down the drain or prevent equipment damage before it happens and be better protected against health and safety risks. And you won’t have to deal with the fatigue of alarms constantly going off since you’ll see only the ones that matter.

Test on your timeline
To achieve the best results for your water system, it’s important to regularly test it — you can’t just set it and forget it or make decisions based on a water profile that’s typical for your city but not specific to your location. With Buckman Digital Water, you can simplify the testing process while still getting accurate and personalized results.
You don’t need to wait for a service call. Our Connected Lab technology allows you to easily collect and submit water samples for lab analysis. Simply scan a QR code on site to connect your sample point with a sample bottle, and then send the bottle to our lab in a prepaid shipper.
Afterward, you’ll receive a detailed report that combines sensor and onsite data with lab analytics, along with clear recommendations for how to optimize your program.This means you can make informed decisions and improve your system without the hassle of additional labor or delays.

Swap out sensors before they fail
Keeping your sensors clean and calibrated is essential for maintaining the accuracy of your water treatment system. However, it’s all too common to find sensors that haven’t been touched in months or even years. The more sensor accuracy drifts, the more you’ll risk unplanned downtime and urgent maintenance issues, causing unnecessary stress and wasted time.
Buckman Digital Water offers a solution: our predictive maintenance program. By collecting data from highly accurate sensors, we can determine when a sensor needs to be cleaned, calibrated, or replaced before it fails. This takes the urgency out of maintenance and allows you to plan your staff and time more effectively. With our program, you’ll know exactly when your sensors need attention, so you can maintain the accuracy of your water treatment system and avoid unplanned downtime.

Safely cycle your system higher without increased labor cost
Saving water through cycling can be beneficial, but it can also lead to issues such as mineral concentration, which may require closer monitoring. Buckman Digital Water provides a solution that allows you to cycle your system more efficiently without incurring additional labor costs. Our approach involves using data to track the impact of your actions on business metrics such as water and energy usage, asset efficiency, production and more.
For example, with Ackumen Program Predictor, you can determine safe cycles of concentration with a program tailored to your system, not general water makeup for your location. When in operation, the Ackumen system collects precise data on your system’s conductivity and pH levels, allowing you to cycle your water in a more controlled manner. You can conserve water without worrying about the negative effects on your operations.

Track your usage as you go
Managing an industrial water treatment program that changes frequently to meet business needs can make budget forecasting challenging. With Buckman Digital Water, you can track your total spend on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis instead of waiting for the bill. Our technology, such as the Ackumen™ Smart Dispenser and Insights Lab analytics, provides transparency on how much water, chemistry, and energy you’re using in real-time. You’ll see exactly how much water, chemistry, and energy you’re using.
When you can track and predict your usage better, you can optimize how you spend. For example, you might buy ahead at a time of year when pricing is advantageous. Or you might predict that you’ll run short in six months, so that your upper management isn’t blindsided by that future budget request. With this level of control and insight, you can better manage your business’s resources and make informed decisions.

Verify your chemical feed
The concern around Legionella is increasing scrutiny of the safety of industrial water treatment. With Buckman Digital Water, you can ensure that you’re taking the necessary steps to minimize the risk of microbial growth.
Our health and safety tools, such as OxiSure™ technology, can help you determine the right amount of biocide to use based on your system’s needs rather than a standard schedule. Additionally, our Ackumen™ Smart Dispenser tracks what you dispense. Not only can you show that you kicked on the relay, but you can also show a measurable change in water stream to prove the chemical made it into the water.
By using these tools, you can reduce the risk of microbial growth that poses health hazards to humans. You can also optimize your spending on chemicals by ensuring that you don’t use too much biocide. Furthermore, you can track your usage so closely that chemicals can be shipped automatically before they run out.
