Introduction

Even before up to present, people always settle to a product which is perfectly suited for the
way they drink and in demand business. Water refilling Station is the best suited to this expanding
business. Water is one of the needed of the society it is basic useful so demand is not a problem in a
business, it can be profitable in all season. Without water we can’t survive in our daily life, about 60%
of human body is made of water.

Water refilling stations are small water systems that have its own water purification facility
producing drinking water.

study covers the proposed system of DC Water Refilling Station, the company is located at Zone-1
Fatima, Tabaco City Albay. Since the company start in the year of 2019, they are using This manual
based operation.To overcome the deficiencies of manual operation, the

Information technology is a modern phenomenon that has dramatically changed the daily lives of
individuals and businesses throughout the world. Modern business from initial organization through
grouping of essential functions into operating departments. Management and the decision-making
process, financing, operations, and marketing considerations are studied, with actual cases used to
illustrate problems in small and big businesses. One of the fast expanding businesses nationwide is the
Water Refilling Station. Water Refilling Stations are small water systems that have its own water
purification facility producing potable drinking water. This study covers the proposed system of Aijem’s
Water Refilling Station the company is located at Malasiqui, Pangasinan. Since the company started in
the year 2001, they are using manual based operation. Mainly pertaining to the untimely processing of
their data and information reliability. To overcome the deficiencies of manual operation, the developers
proposed a system for Aijem’s Water Refilling Station to help the company to be on top and align with
the fast growing businesses in the province, to promote quality of service, and avoid waste of time.

One of the fast expanding business in the Philippines is the water refilling station. It is located on
every street corner because lot of people in urban areas prefer to get drinking water from refilling
water stations. In Talisay City, one of the cities of the Province of Negros Occidental, Water Refilling
Stations (WRS) managed by private entrepreneurs offer a cheaper and more convenient solution to
the public's drinking water need. The city health officer was represented by the Secretary of health to
issue the Certificate of Potability of Drinking Water. Monitoring must be done on water refilling
stations at least monthly. The results of the water analyses done by the City Health Office are part of
its regular evaluation and monitoring with the slow process of receiving the results. To evaluate the
quality of product water, most owners of WRS in Talisay City conduct their own checking and
monitoring manually using the Total Dissolved Solids meter. However, this method was time
consuming and not efficient. Since it was not possible to take the water samples every hour and
measure its qualities. Manuscript received August 15, 2017. This work was personal financial
support by the author. Engr. Josephine Q. Salillas is with the Carlos Hilado Memorial State College,
Negros Occidental , Philippines. She is currently conducting an environmental with innovation in
technology research in the field of environmental engineering. This study, Water Refilling Station
Monitoring System using TDS meter with SMS provides real-time monitoring of water quality. The
device uses four sensors in monitoring the quality of water in terms of Total Dissolved Solids,
Turbidity, Electrical Conductivity and Temperature. The measured values are then sent to the
system logger and eventually an SMS notification is sent to the owner. II. OBJECTIVES 1. To design
and develop a Monitoring System for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Turbidity, Conductivity and
Temperature of product water of Talisay-based Water Refilling Stations; 2. To assess the accuracy
and effectiveness of the device and the system in monitoring the quality of water; 3. Generate
reports needed by the refilling stations in monitoring the quality of the product water; and 4.
Determine the acceptability of the proposed method of monitoring the product water. III.
MATERIALS AND METHOD The development of the Water Refilling Station Monitoring System with
SMS consist of ATMEGA 320 microcontroller embedded in the Arduino board and SMS module and
four sensors to determine the quality of product water: in terms of TDS, turbidity, conductivity and
temperature. It is important to monitor the TDS because it can affect the health of the consumers.
The lower the TDS level in the water, the more efficiently the body’s cells actually get hydrated by
the water. The higher the TDS level in the water, the greater the probability of harmful containments
that can pose health risks. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Total dissolved solid
(TDS) refers to the total weight of all solids (minerals, salts, or metals) that are dissolved in a given
volume of water, Expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L), or in parts per million (ppm). The standard
value of TDS is <10ppm for product water that has undergone reverse osmosis or distillation
process. Another parameter to be monitored is the turbidity since it measures the clarity of water.
According to WHO an increasing risk of gastrointestinal infections correlates with high turbidity and
turbidity events in distribution. This may be because turbidity is acting as an indicator of possible
sources of microbial contamination. The standard measurement or value of turbidity is lower than 5
NTU (WHO). The next is electrical conductivity (EC) it actually measures the ionic process of a
solution that enables it to transmit current. According to WHO standards, EC value should not
exceeded
