Detect algae blooms before they cause impacts
AlgaeTracker measures 6 key water parameters 48x / day and streams the data to a web dashboard so you get a 24/7 lens into your waterways from your office.
Time public warnings or water treatments proactively
Timing is everything when avoiding the impacts of HABs. Early detection means you can notify the public before accidents happen or schedule treatments preventatively rather than after disasters occur.
Amplify the reach of your monitoring team
AlgaeTracker's alerting system notifies you when contamination levels rise above set thresholds, so you check the right location at the right time, and skip the other sites.
“The AlgaeTracker gives us 24/7 visibility into our water sites where we typically get a 10-15 day gap between surveys. This means we can get there ready to perform treatments when the cell counts are lower, use less chemical, and avoid the bad blooms. That keeps the park patrons happy and the regulatory agencies from having to show up with a ‘Closed’ sign. Looking forward to ramping up deployments!”
Terry Mcnabb, President, AquaTechNex
“The AlgaeTrackers are a huge hit- other watersheds in New Brunswick want these devices to assist in early detection for cyanobacteria blooms. These units have been an absolute smash success- even if a bloom isn't occurring, having a device that collects water quality data, in real time, with such ease of use, has been an incredible asset for our monitoring programs!”

An amazingly powerful sensor buoy in a surprisingly small package
1.
Drop the lightweight buoy into the water. It immediately starts sending 6 key readings to the cloud every 30 minutes. Cellular is all taken care of.
2.
Our dashboard streams all the data live, displays rich graphs and color coded gauges, and sends you notifications at Action Thresholds.
3.
Early detection enables early action. When levels rise too high for your water, send a team member or water professional to assess for treatment.

Affordable, large-scale data collection to protect waterways
Large-Scale Data & Actionable Insights
The Trackers notify you when important events occur. Once Action Thresholds are reached, deploy your personnel for follow up or treatment only when needed, saving you needless trips to sample manually. We can even connect you with certified water professionals for treatment.
5-10 x Lower Cost of Ownership
The Tracker is priced to be deployable regardless of budget. Using new hardware and software advancements, we’re able to provide the Tracker at a surprisingly low cost. You can choose a Package with zero recurring fees, or a Subscription and pay as you go with low upfront cost. Volume discounts apply. Contact us for a quote.
Install in 30 Minutes
By combining all hardware, software, and cellular connection into a streamlined unit, AlgaeTrackers can usually be deployed in 30 minutes by just about anyone. At 8 pounds, simply place it in your waterway, clip it to a dock or anchor and it starts sending data to your web dashboard using solar power.
We provide several standard Rigging Packages and have Preventive Maintenance options available.
Privacy and Security
You own the AlgaeTracker buoy and data. The data is encrypted during transmission, stored in secure servers, and is never shared with anyone unless you opt to share it. You can download the data easily to a csv file any time. If you have specific private data transfer and storage requirements such as file transfer, API, or using your own database, we can customize a solution for you. Please get in touch.
"The AlgaeTracker buoy has provided some great insight into pond management right from our desktop in an easy-to-use interface. We've been able to monitor pond conditions, place pre-emptive phone calls to clients, and treat before algae becomes a major issue. Turbidity measurements also allow us to predict and monitor effects of runoff and make more timely management decisions. This is a great product that should have far reaching implementation possibilities for private pond owners, public beaches, and municipalities. We can't wait to get more units in the water."
