Online-based Water Management
W|C|S® -WaterCareSystem
Real-time Data Recording
The WaterCareSystem W|C|S® significantly simplifies water management for operators of water treatment systems and evaporative cooling systems, freeing up valuable work time for other tasks. W|C|S® increases operational safety and sustainably reduces operating costs!
The W|C|S® WaterCareSystem consists of the W|C|S® Board (system technology) and the W|C|S® e-Service. Only through this combination is the full range of services, including data collection, data analysis, monthly and annual reports, and continuous support, available. The W|C|S® Dashboard allows you to view water data in real-time, anytime, anywhere. Well protected with W|C|S® e-Secure.
Monitoring and alarm surveillance
W|C|S® -Dashboard
Simple data retrieval and overview
With the use of the W|C|S® WaterCareSystem, the operator has access to real-time monitoring on the Dashboard at any time. The dashboard can also be used on a mobile device with all functions available. Additionally, the operator receives a monthly status report with recommendations and a traffic light system, which can be filed in the operation logbook.
There is also the option to view your water data on any device with an internet connection anywhere and at any time using graphical and statistical dashboards. This allows you to keep an eye on your system around the clock:

Compliance with legal regulations
Report management according to 42. BImSchV
Time and cost savings for the operator
Maintaining an operation logbook is legally required for every evaporative cooling system under the 42nd BImSchV. When using W|C|S®, the operator receives a monthly status report with recommendations and a traffic light system, which can be filed in the operation logbook. Additionally, a cloud-based operation logbook is also available.
Active support in complying with the 42nd BImSchV / VDI 2047 Sheet 2 by experienced water experts makes adherence to the guidelines easier, resulting in time and cost savings for the operator.
The monthly report includes:
- Monthly summary
- Trend analysis / Charts
- Annual / Activity overview
- Traffic light system
- Recommendations for action

Measuring and controlling process water
W|C|S®-Board - The Hardware
The foundation for successful water management
The W|C|S® base plate, which is integrated into the bypass of the evaporative cooling system or the system water circuit, is designed to measure all necessary data to evaluate the quality of the process water.
In addition to the minute-precise recording of all relevant data from the evaporative cooling system, the W|C|S® Board controls blowdown, the dosage of conditioning agents, and biocides, including the interlocking of the blowdown valve.
The combination with DHC-Trace® technology enhances the capabilities of the W|C|S® WaterCareSystem by determining the product content of chemicals, helping to use the required chemical products sustainably.
The intelligent W|C|S® control cabinet with a 7" color touchscreen performs central tasks. In addition to data collection, control, and storage of measured data, the W|C|S® control cabinet also serves the transmission of all collected data to the W|C|S® server at Dr. Hartmann Chemietechnik.
- Measurement of at least 17 parameters for process water and water treatment systems
- Measuring the amount of make-up and wastewater
- Control of the blowdown valve (conductivity-controlled or volume-controlled)
- Control of dosing pumps (biocide, inhibitors), additional dosing pumps optional
- Intelligent control with a large touch screen and various expansion options
- Online product measurement with DHC-Trace® technology (optional)
- W|C|S® Board can be used as a multiparameter system without e-Service
- W|C|S®-e-Service supports the operational staff in daily tasks
