Element I: TESTING AND DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

Test 1 Results

This shows us that our sensor works properly. We now know that the sensor works under flowing and still water and also properly alerts to water with dissolved solid values over safe parameters. In the context of our design, it shows that the user can rely only just the color LED without having to see numbers on the computer to know if that water is safe or not.

Test 2 RESUTLS

This test shows that the rate at which the water is flowing out of the faucet is not affected by the placement of the probe. The user will not have to worry about an affect on the pressure of the water either as the probe will be integrated within the faucet.

This shows that our product is safe to use. We now know that water cannot leak into the electrical component, reducing the risk of electric shock and short-circuiting.

TEST 4 Changes

We came up with this test before we had finalized our design. Initially, we were going to create an attachment that would be able to screw/fasten onto most faucets but after more research and talking with Mr. Griffin, we moved to a more integrated design. Now, our product is meant to encase the probe and electrical components into one product, making this test irrelevant. For the adaptability of our final product, we envision consumers being able to buy the smart faucet to use with any sink of their choosing.

This test was meant to show that our product was easily adaptable and could fit onto many different faucets. However, since we changed our design to be integrated into the faucet, this test is no longer applicable.
