Overview of the Lake Pulse Toolbox

The Lake Pulse Toolbox is a menu of testing and monitoring solutions designed to help you manage your lake’s health and safety.

It provides practical tools and services that generate data you can use to better understand water quality, environmental conditions, and overall lake performance.

What the Toolbox Includes

The Toolbox offers multiple categories of solutions, including:

• Lab Testing
  Water sample testing kits that allow you to collect samples, ship them to a lab, and receive results in your Lake Pulse account.

• Real Time Monitoring
  DIY installed solutions that generate real-time data on lake conditions such as water quality, water level, weather, and more.

• Satellite
  Remote sensing tools designed to help you better understand your lake’s health from space.

• Field Testing
  Rapid testing solutions for parasitic or pathogenic conditions, delivering results within hours.

• Aerial Drones
  Drone missions to survey parts of your lake without the complexity or cost traditionally associated with aerial monitoring.

• Surface Drones
  Drone-based bathymetric surveys to map lake depth and underwater features.

• Data Upload & Support
  Services to digitize historic reports, studies, and surveys, and extract key data into your lake’s profile.

How the Toolbox Fits Into Lake Pulse

The Toolbox works alongside your Lake Pulse subscription.

Depending on your subscription tier, data generated through Toolbox solutions may integrate directly into your lake portal, allowing you to view results within your Data Hub and use them to inform lake management decisions.

If you’re unsure which testing or monitoring solution is right for your lake, subscribers can contact the Boathouse for guidance.

When to Use the Toolbox

Use the Toolbox when you want to:

• Generate new water quality data

• Monitor lake conditions in real time

• Conduct surveys or mapping

• Digitize historical lake information

• Build a stronger, more complete lake data record

The Toolbox provides the tools — your lake portal provides the visibility.
