Abstract: Living Waters for the World is a volunteer-based organization that installs water purification systems worldwide.This organization will install the water purification systems within areas that do not have access to fresh clean water.Currently, there have been over a thousand purification systems installed across 26 countries around the world.This organization installs two types of systems.One type of system will chlorinate the water running through the system, while the other will ozonate the water running through the system.Living Waters also provides hygiene education.This education teaches the importance of having clean water and why keeping good hygiene is needed.They also provide some demonstrations.To aid in diagnostics and usage tracking, Living Waters desires a way to monitor their water purification system.They want to have a way to determine if the system is used and functioning properly to produce clean water that is acceptable for drinking.For this project, sensors, actuators, controllers with telemetry capability were added to the water purification system to serve as a way to monitor system operation.
