How do we fully digitise and perfect the drinking water experience? AT CES 2019 in Las Vegas this week, Zero Mass Water released a new sensor that lets users know the quality of water and helps optimise it. A new addition to its Source sensor suite, called Source Informed (SI), adds real-time water-quality knowledge and automated optimisation features to Source Hydropanels.
Announced last year, the create drinking water directly from air and sunlight – no electrical input, pipes, or public utility infrastructure required. The result of nearly two years of in-house development, the new SI sensor is designed to work in combination with Source’s built-in ozonation and mineralisation systems. Its integrated systems automatically optimise water quality and communicate with the Source smartphone app.
Zero Mass Water says its focus is on providing off-grid, independent access to perfect drinking water.
“We set out to eliminate water stress and to perfect drinking water. We created Source so anyone on earth can create their own water,” said Zero Mass Water CEO Cody Friesen. “But that is only the beginning of truly optimizing drinking water. With SI, we’ve now digitised the water experience, giving all users direct knowledge of the water they consume.”

Zero Mass Water provided the following information for features of the product:
Zero Mass Water’s sensor is the latest addition to the integrated SOURCE sensor suite. The new sensor gauges important traits of the water delivered by SOURCE Hydropanels, including:
Sterilization: SI monitors and ensures optimized water quality, allowing users to see details on their SOURCE smartphone app. SI manages water treatment using ozone, the most effective method for sterilizing water. Ozone’s sterilization attributes are superior to that of the chlorine used in municipal systems, and it leaves no residual chemicals in the water. Ozonation helps keep the water captured by SOURCE perfectly clean and safe to drink over time.
Total dissolved solids (TDS): SI also reports and informs the degree of mineralization of the water. Calcium and magnesium are added to SOURCE water to provide the perfect levels of electrolytes for your hydration – as well as the perfect taste.
Here’s how that adds up: SOURCE Informed automatically monitors your water quality, predicts and optimizes the taste of your water based on mineral levels, and maintains the safety of your stored water supply. Daily reports are sent straight to the SOURCE app on your smartphone, so you always know exactly what you’re drinking with SOURCE.
The Zero Mass Water Mission: Perfect Drinking Water Everywhere
Zero Mass Water’s vision is to perfect water for every person in every place. The company’s first product — the SOURCE — enables the world’s only off-grid water production from nearly every corner of the planet.
Zero Mass Water will begin shipping the Hydropanels with the IS in early 2019. Visitors to CES can see the technology at LVCC booth #CP-5.
