Adasa aquaBio - Model B503 -Microbiological Measuring Device

In the tourism sector, aquaBio goes beyond technology: it becomes a symbol of trust and sustainability.

Its installation in a visible and sustainable module —powered by solar energy and designed with eco-friendly materials— turns the mandatory water quality control into an opportunity for communication and adds value to tourism.

The system includes information screens that allow citizens and visitors to check water quality data, temperature and even environmental alerts in real time, thus reinforcing transparency and commitment to the environment.

• Protection of public health: Detects increases in E. coli indicating faecal contamination in real time, allowing the area to be temporarily closed.
• Rapid response to contamination incidents. Facilitates the activation of alert protocols and communication with authorities and the public.
• Reliability: Improved quality and safety. Enables more reliable continuous monitoring than spot sampling.
• Compliance with the European Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC). Helps to ensure that E. coli and enterococcus levels remain within the required limits.
• Prevention of tourism and economic impacts. Prevents prolonged or unjustified beach closures.
• Transparency in the management of water quality data increases confidence and improves the public's perception of municipal institutions.

At treatment and reuse plants, aquaBio offers real-time monitoring of disinfection effectiveness.

It allows anomalies to be detected, processes to be adjusted and regulatory compliance to be automatically verified.

This reduces sampling costs and ensures that the treated water is suitable for discharge or reuse, improving the safety and sustainability of the process.

Benefits:

• Enables the detection of faecal contamination, preventing the use of contaminated water on crops intended for human consumption.
• Reduces the risk of outbreaks of foodborne illnesses.
• Facilitates decision-making on when and where water from natural sources, ponds or recycled sources can be used.
• It helps to ensure that the water used complies with the legal limits for E. coli established by health and environmental regulations.
• It minimises the need to manually collect and analyse laboratory samples on a regular basis, providing continuous and more representative data.
• It reinforces sustainable agricultural practices and increases consumer confidence in the safety of agricultural products.

For companies with high water consumption, aquaBio ensures that process or recycled water complies with hygiene standards.

Real-time monitoring allows treatment systems to be adjusted, contamination to be prevented and disinfection or analysis costs to be reduced.

In this way, industries improve their operational efficiency and reinforce their commitment to sustainability and product quality.

Benefits:

• Quality assurance. Ensures that the water used in industrial processes (washing, cooling, cleaning, manufacturing) is not microbiologically contaminated and complies with established health limits.
• Optimisation of treatment and disinfection systems. Facilitates the adjustment of disinfectant doses, contact times and filter maintenance.
• Regulatory compliance and quality audits.
• Reduction of occupational and environmental risks.
• Support for sustainability and the circular economy: promotes the safe reuse of water within the industrial cycle.

For environmental authorities and agencies, aquaBio is a key tool for monitoring the quality of natural waters (rivers, reservoirs, lakes, or coastal areas).

It quickly detects episodes of faecal contamination and helps identify their source, enabling an immediate response.

aquaBio guarantees microbiological safety from source to distribution network.

In drinking water sources, it detects faecal contamination at an early stage; and in treated water, it verifies that the water treatment and disinfection system is working correctly.

Benefits in portable water sources (water intakes, wells, rivers, reservoirs):

• Early detection of faecal contamination.
• Real-time assessment of water quality at source.
• Prevention of supply incidents.
• Monitoring of local environmental impact.
• Support for catchment area management and protection of water intakes.

• The aquaBio continuous water meter, unlike other devices, works like this:
• It does not require adaptation of results and provides results comparable to laboratory standards.
• It quantifies results in MPN/100ml based on ISO 9308-2.
• Handles a sample volume of 100 ml as specified by the standard.
• No dilution required except with seawater, which is handled automatically.
• With accurate dosing facilitated by a CCD camera and ETV ISO 14034 verification, aquaBio ensures reliable and accurate results for informed decision making.
• It provides results so that you can have continuous information on microbiological water quality by detecting the end of a contamination episode much earlier than the laboratory.
• It has different and flexible sampling options, including episodic sampling that tracks the recovery of the contamination alert as soon as adequate quality is restored.
