Hach partners with 120Water to provide municipalities with compliance solutions for Lead and Copper testing

LOVELAND, Colo., Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hach, a global leader in water quality analysis, announced it has partnered with 120Water to offer Hach's customers an end-to-end solution for Lead and Copper compliance testing. 120Water is a digital water platform in use at more than 180,000 locations across the nation, which simplifies in-home drinking water program management.

This partnership enables Hach to offer the 120Water digital water platform as an additional service to its existing and new customers. 120Water's platform consists of water sample and filter kits, cloud-based software, and services used to manage and execute drinking water programs at scale.

"Hach is the original pioneer of expert solutions for water analysis around the globe. Together we can bring an end-to-end drinking water compliance platform to our mutual utility customers," said Megan Glover, CEO of 120Water. "This is especially important as many utilities face ongoing resource constraints in addition to new challenges based on proposed changes to the Lead & Copper Rule, which is already one of the most complex requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act."

120Water's turnkey platform was built specifically for the water industry and can be used across a broad scope of drinking water programs, such as lead service line replacement, and can be applied to multiple contaminants, including lead and arsenic. The solution will integrate with Claros™, the Water Intelligence System from Hach, extending its ability to apply data management and process management to drinking water compliance.

"We're excited about our partnership with 120Water and how it extends our ability to help our customers provide the highest quality water to their consumers," said Jeff Stock, Vice President of Marketing at Hach. "With this partnership, as well as the recent announcement of the acquisition of Aquatic Informatics into Danaher's Water Quality Platform, Hach is better positioned than ever before to support customers in their ambitions to ensure water quality, optimize their processes and overcome budget constraints."
