A company located in Prince Edward Island will get government money for septic systems products. Dynamic Monitors has built and tested an internet-connected device that would monitor septic systems for malfunction.

A Stratford, Prince Edward Island, company is getting a new influx of government funding to help it research and develop a product that could make sewage treatment systems more safe, and efficient.

Dynamic Monitors, a business unit of Engineering Technologies Canada Ltd., is working on a new Internet-connected device that keeps watching to determine if a septic system may be at risk of malfunctioning or overflowing. The early warning alert system is similar to the low oil pressure warning on a car dashboard, but it's sent directly to any internet-connected device.

They have named this product the Septic Sitter, currently, it is going through a final field testing phase in about a dozen septic systems in the province.

In 2015, the company received a $100,000 grant from the province for research and development.

Now, the company will receive a new round of funding from the Canadian Government of almost $300,000.00 plus up to $16,000.00 from the province for marketing expenses.
