Abstract
Water quality in a household is important when it comes to tracing undetectable impurities. Most traditional water quality tests require sending samples to a laboratory which can take days or even weeks to get the results of the water quality. This device will aim to be easily installed in a household sink piping system and will be equipped with sensors that will monitor the calcium levels present within the water. It also includes an app that will connect via bluetooth and will provide real time information of the water quality in the tank. This addresses the limitations of traditional water quality testing methods which usually require manual testing and being sent to an off site lab for analysis which could take weeks. By using sensors and optimizing the device for easy integration into a sink pipe, this system provides an accessible solution to test household calcium water levels.

The Safe Home Ultimate 200-1 Drinking Water Test Kit
Very popular and easy way to test the water quality in a household
Can test for 200 different parameters in water
Process:
collecting a water sample and putting it in the tubes that the kit provides.
send the water samples to the lab.
Within 5-10 business days after the lab receives the sample, a lab report of the water quality in the household would be provided to the customer.
Device that has a bluetooth app connection and can monitor real time water quality values
Needs to be a somewhat large body of water that the probes can be in
The monitor must not touch water and would be placed somewhere else near the water
Comes with an alarm setting on the app which notifies when the safety range is exceeded

Project Sensor
Project Sensor
We will be using the Vernier Calcium Ion-Selective Electrode with the Arduino Shield to complete our project.
Calcium Ion-Selective Electrode
Price $299.99
Compatible with Arduino using a shield
Range (concentration): 1 to 40,000 mg/L (or ppm)
pH Range (concentration): 2–8 (no temperature compensation)
An ion selective electrode sensor was chosen for its ability to detect specific ions in water, sch as heavy metals. These sensors operate by measuring the potential difference between a reference electrode and an ion-selective electrode, which is directly related to the concentration of the target ion in the water sample. The ISE sensor offers advantages such as high selectivity, rapid response, and cost-effectiveness. This being integrated into the SafeWater Monitor system for continuous and real-time water quality monitoring, with data processed and a transmitted to an app to have the data analyzed.

Specification Table
The table above outlines the needs and specifications we’ve established for our project, serving as a framework for our development efforts. We have identified convenience and functionality as the two most crucial categories. For convenience, our main objectives are to ensure that the device is easy to install, user-friendly, cost-effective, and visually appealing. We believe that a simple installation process will enhance user satisfaction and encourage adoption, while an intuitive interface will make the device accessible to a wider audience.
