Expanding Field Proofs of Concept (PoC): From Swimming Pool Water Quality to Larva Detection

Innovative Maintenance-Free Turbidimeters, Proven in the Field

THE.WAVE.TALK’s proprietary optical and image analysis technologies are solving long-standing pain points in real-world water quality management. Conventional optical water quality meters frequently suffer from sensor fouling and ongoing calibration issues. Our turbidimeter overcomes these challenges, earning both Ministry of Environment Type Approval (0–10 NTU) and NEP (New Excellent Product) certification in South Korea.

Building on this government-validated technology, we have expanded our measurement range up to 0–50 NTU for swimming pool environments and are successfully conducting multiple on-site field demonstrations.

• Public Swimming Pool in Seoul: Maintenance-Free Since February 2026

Since its installation, our water quality monitoring system has been operating reliably for six consecutive months with zero maintenance. By completely eliminating the need for manual sensor cleaning by field personnel, this site serves as a prime case study demonstrating how facility operational expenditure (OPEX) can be dramatically reduced.

• Launching New Field Validation at Public Swimming Pool in Gyeonggi

  Building on the high reliability demonstrated in our initial project, we launched a new field demonstration this past July, rapidly building out our operational track record.

  
  

• Two Major Municipal Swimming Pools Equipped with Larva Detection Monitoring

  At two major facilities in Daejeon, our turbidimeters have been upgraded with an integrated Larva Detection Monitoring feature.

  Our proprietary image analysis and deep-learning algorithms accurately distinguish subtle pattern differences between larvae and harmless elements like air bubbles, minimizing false alarms while precisely detecting micro-larvae as small as 1 mm.

  Operating 24/7 autonomously, the system instantly triggers real-time alerts to the central control monitoring system upon detecting larvae. This enables operators to take immediate corrective action before contaminated water enters the pool, establishing a rapid, reliable defense against complex water quality threats.

  
  
  
  

Proven Technology Reliability

THEWAVETALK proves its technological maturity through real-world field operations, not just laboratory data. We will continue expanding our field demonstrations across public and private facilities to set the standard for maintenance-free water quality monitoring.
