Keep every pump running and every station on record.

Solmex plans maintenance for pumps, blowers, filters and generators across every plant and station, records each site visit with a name and a time, and keeps process readings in one place.

Sound familiar?

Assets spread over many sites are hard to keep up.

A remote pump fails overnight

The duty pump trips overnight, the standby was never serviced, and by morning a wet well is close to overflowing. Nobody knew both pumps were overdue.

Station rounds leave no proof

Operators drive between stations with a clipboard. When the regulator asks when a site was last inspected, the answer is a stack of unsigned sheets.

Readings sit in notebooks

Chlorine, pH and flow are written down every shift, but a value out of range is only noticed when someone reads the notebook days later.

How Solmex fixes it

One system for every plant, station and network asset.

Prevent

Service pumps and blowers before they fail

Set a plan once for pumps, blowers, screens, dosing units and generators. Solmex schedules each service by run hours or the calendar, so duty and standby units both get serviced.

Plans by run hours or by date
Every site and station in one list
Tasks and parts listed on every job

See Preventive Maintenance

Prove

Every station round signed and on record

Station and plant rounds run from a phone on site. Each check carries a name, a time and a photo, and a failed item becomes a tracked job instead of a note on a sheet.

Record

Process readings with a warning on entry

Record up to eight process readings per asset, such as chlorine, pH, flow or pressure, on a daily grid or from a phone. A value outside its range is flagged the moment it is entered.

Out-of-range values flagged on entry

Hours of unplanned downtime per asset, per year

Cost of one hour of downtime on one asset

Unplanned downtime costs you about $0

Planned maintenance that avoids 30% of it is worth $0

An estimate from your own inputs. The 30% is set below published results on purpose: NIST found 44% less downtime at plants that invested more in preventive and predictive maintenance.

No risk to try

Start small. Keep your data. Leave any time.

Free to start, free to stay

Every account gets 14 days of the Business plan. After that, one user and up to 25 assets stay free with no time limit.

Anyone can report a problem

Operators, cleaners and tenants report faults by scanning a QR code. People who only report are free on every plan.

Your data stays yours

Export every record to Excel whenever you like, or take a full export of the whole account. Nothing is locked in.

Private and controlled

Your company's records are kept apart from every other customer's, every change is logged, and you decide who can see and do what.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does Solmex help when the regulator asks for records?

Yes. Every inspection, service and repair is stored against the asset with the person, the date and time, and any photos or signatures. You can pull a station's full history in seconds and export it to Excel or a signed PDF. Solmex keeps the records; compliance stays with your team.

Does Solmex connect to our SCADA or sensors?

Yes, through an integration built for you. We connect Solmex to your SCADA, PLCs or sensors as a separate project, scoped to your plants and priced separately. Without one, operators enter hour meter and process readings from a phone or a daily grid, and Solmex warns when a value is out of range. Your SCADA keeps running the process; Solmex keeps the maintenance and the record of who did what.

Can we manage many small sites, not just one plant?

Yes. Every treatment plant, pumping station and reservoir is a location, and each asset keeps its full history there. Filter the lists by site or area, assign work to the crews that cover them, and see every overdue service across the network in one place.

How do crews report a fault in the field?

Each pump, panel or valve chamber can carry a QR label. Anyone can scan it with a phone and report the problem with a photo, without needing an account. Maintenance turns it into a work order or a breakdown. People who only report problems are free on every plan.
