What we do

Measure Water Flow and Quality

Our Advanced Metering Infrastructure platform rapidly and accurately records water and sensor data, continuously updating the WaterSen portal.

  1. Measure

    Capture meter and sensor records using telemetry. Reduce labor costs. Save time and money. Fewer trips to the field, clipboards, errors or lost records.

    The results: data available in minutes on WaterSen.

  2. Analyze

    WaterSen is a powerful tool for tracking water instantly and compares flows to historical usage. See real-time usage in easy-to-understand gauge views. Analyze flow rates and total use by the minute, hour, day, week, month, or year. View quick real-time water status at sign-in. No extra clicks.

  3. Comply

    The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) introduces stricter data and measurement mandates starting in Water Year 2027 (beginning October 2026), governed by the State Water Resources Control Board.

    WaterSen compliance reporting functions are ready to precisely track water source and destination to multiple agencies including GSAs, SGMA, and CalWATRS.

  4. Sensor Integration

    Track water flow alongside pressure, pH, chemical, temperature, acoustic data, and water quality metrics.

    Connect to many off-the-shelf devices with industry standard protocols.

  5. Alerts

    Flag unusual spikes, mean flow, or sudden drops to catch leaks or hardware malfunctions early. Real-time notices for fast action.

    AMI working in concert with WaterSen provides device-specific attributes and alerts.

  6. Mobile Meter Maid

    No telemetry at a site? Use the WaterSen mobile app to record usage straight into the portal. Open the app, select a meter, enter the flow rate and record it.

    Adding an image of the meter display is optional for the GSA or Water District that requires proof. All entries are time stamped and sent to the portal for Compliance Reporting.

Why now

Water compliance is no longer optional.

Water regulation is moving rapidly towards mandatory, real-time tracking. Mandates like CalWATRS and GEARS demand precision. This shift increases complex paperwork potentially exposing your business to steep penalties.

Our platform eliminates the guesswork, automates data, and helps keep you compliant.

  • CalWATRS and GEARS reporting start 2026
  • Real-time monitoring
  • State and GSA
  • Exposure to penalties

Flow Meters

Our patent pending Sapphire Series capacitance flow meters and our industry standard Gold Series electromagnetic flow meters (with millions of installations worldwide) show our commitment to solving today's needs with the future of water meter technology.

Sapphire Series

Our patent pending design extends the life of a Sapphire Series meter many years, reducing the number of calibration cycles needed, and increases the ability to work well in harsh agricultural environments. Perfect for measuring fluids sourced from reservoirs, ditches, rivers, and dairies to eliminate fluid contact. Our patent removes electrodes commonly worn down from fluid abrasions, with hard Sapphire (almost as hard as diamonds) conductive circuit film. The Sapphire film is a game changer extending meter life and calibration intervals.

Our objective is to maximize meter lifespan while reducing the number of calibration cycles. Fewer calibrations and repair intervals compound hidden cost-savings over the years.

Gold Series

The Gold-Standard electromagnetic flow meter. An industry-standard EFM, independently tested meeting the best industry accuracy, calibration and certification benchmarks. Cal Poly's ITRC test results from February 2026 are available comparing Gold Series meters to California-wide ITRC results.

Our Gold Series meter was our entry point to market, allowing Sapphire Ag to develop and enhance the WaterSen Portal, telemetry, and family of sensors. An exceptional meter, with a 2-year warranty. A low cost meter considering its size and performance. Millions sold worldwide through Europe, Asia and Africa. Maximizing your investment with technical support, local stock, funding and performance for a very attractive price.

Telemetry

The fundamental objective of the Sapphire Ag Telemetry system is to ensure data collection from many devices. Devices are easy to connect using Modbus or RS-485. The goal is device agnostic capture of data using industry standard protocols.

We built our telemetry to support an open interface on industry standard protocols such as RS-485, RS-232, Modbus, ethernet, mesh, GPS, GPRS, Bluetooth, and cellular networks like AT&T and Verizon to ensure almost any device can send and/or receive data.

We don't just sell flow meters and sensors; we unlock your data. Whether you use one of our meters or an existing one, our platform supports a fairly open interface to seamlessly bridge the gap across many equipment brands.

Data transparency is critical for the future of water rights discussions.

Introducing the WaterSen Portal

We know sharing precise and accurate information is the foundation for water survival in agriculture! With reliable data, we help the agricultural community and its investors fight California's baseless regulations.

The WaterSen Portal makes it easy to track water usage and quality. As the brains of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), WaterSen helps record, manage, and report water usage from the extraction point to the destination.

This simple to use portal streamlines managing water usage, quality and reporting with or without AMI equipment like Telemetry or Sensors.

Compliance advantage

Compliance as a service

Stop reacting to regulations. Sapphire Ag enables proactive compliance through automated reporting. Its accurate, audit-ready data is formatted by agency. Review, adjust and submit your water data on time, every time.

  • Automate the burden of compliance

    Generate water agency-specific reports by compliance period. Quickly review and publish reports through the application programming interface (API). Email receipts confirm the filings.

  • Estimate versus actual

    Track water usage with WaterSen to compare with evapotranspiration (ET) estimates. Our portal's most reliable component helps to dispute ET with actual meter readings.

  • Audit-ready documentation

    Valid records exist for every period. Query the data, run the WaterSen audit, and compare it to agency invoices. Use water records to dispute fees and penalties.

  • Fewer penalties and fees

    Penalties and fees are often based on assumptions, not facts. Use extraction and recharge records to provide actual water flow data.

Turn compliance from a burden into an advantage with WaterSen.

Data privacy

Take control of your data. Manage user access and role-based features and visibility. Your data stays protected within a secure, NIST-compliant cloud.
