Transparent Blue Water LLC

Hydraulic software and technology for a clearer understanding of water systems.

Transparent Blue Water LLC is a company dedicated to building modern hydraulic software.

We combine engineering rigor, clear visualization, and intelligent tools to help people design, operate, and study water systems with more confidence.

Transparent Blue Water LLC was created to build modern tools for hydraulic systems, especially where traditional software feels rigid, opaque, or outdated.

Our work is grounded in engineering practice and focused on making hydraulic behavior visible, understandable, and actionable.

Our products

Four products for water distribution networks, all running on the EPANET engine.

New · Free on the Mac App Store

FlowAnalyzer for Mac

EPANET networks on your Mac: open your .inp models, simulate, edit and read the results hour by hour. Its Water Loss module turns two figures from your water balance into a calibrated leak model, a leak map and a comparison of pressure-reducing valves.

FlowAnalyzer web

Hydraulic analysis in the browser: load an EPANET network, run scenarios and export them back to .inp. Nothing to install.

WatDis

Our platform for water distribution networks, for more than 13 years: WatDis Studio, a modern environment for pressurized networks (Technical Preview), and the WatDis Calc Series of specialized calculation modules.

What we do

Transparent Blue Water develops software and technology for hydraulic systems. Our work focuses on turning complex hydraulic behavior into something visible, understandable, and usable for engineers, operators, and researchers.

  • We design and build hydraulic software platforms.
  • We focus on simulation, visualization, and AI for water networks.
  • We collaborate with utilities, consulting firms, and universities.
  • We maintain a long-term vision centered on water, not generic software.

Our philosophy

We believe that hydraulic software should be technically rigorous, visually clear, honest about its capabilities and limitations, and open to collaboration between engineering, operations, and academia. Transparent Blue Water was created to embody this philosophy in the tools we build.
