Water-from-air and monitoring installs for electricians
A water-from-air unit is an appliance on a circuit, and the larger ones are a permitted electrical job. A WQM-1 is low-voltage and wires to relays you already understand. BlueSignal trains you on commissioning both.

What you already have
- A TDLR electrical license for new circuits and hardwired equipment.
- Load calculations and outdoor equipment on most jobs.
- Customers adding backup power who ask about water next.
Where BlueSignal fits
- Water from air: the BlueSignal 5 and 21 generators plug into an existing outlet. The larger units are quoted per site and need licensed electrical and plumbing work.
- Water quality monitoring: the BlueSignal WQM-1 reads pH, TDS, turbidity and temperature every minute and shows them in BlueSignal Cloud. It goes on wells, cisterns, pools, ponds and tanks.
- Four relay outputs switch site equipment, such as water generators, through installer-supplied gear.
Licenses for this work
- New circuits and hardwired units: a TDLR electrical license.
- Tank and plumbing tie-ins are work for a licensed plumber.
- Wiring between a relay output and an irrigation controller is part of the irrigation system, which is TCEQ Landscape Irrigator work.

Questions
Is a WQM-1 a line-voltage install?
No. It runs from a 24 V DC supply. Its relay outputs switch site equipment through installer-supplied gear; anything at line voltage is wired to code by a licensed electrician.
What does it cost to join?
Nothing. The course, the listing and the proposal tool are free. You buy BlueSignal equipment at installer pricing when you sell a job.
Who does the homeowner contract with?
With you. You quote, sign and invoice the job under your own business and license. BlueSignal sells the equipment and runs the cloud the monitor reports to.
How long does the training take?
Eleven short videos, the written lessons, and one unit commissioned live for BlueSignal, on site or on a video call.
