AquaScan combines various water measurement technologies to simplify the water testing process for installers. It provides simple connection and clear readings.
AquaScan is an excellent quality tool for testing mains water flow, pressure, temperature, and hardness indication via total dissolved solids (TDS).
AquaScan helps installers not only to get the water insights needed for selecting the right product for the system, but to also quickly understand if there are any water temperature, pressure and/or flow issues in an existing or new product installation as well as identify any hard water areas via TDS that could be detrimental to energy efficiency due to limescale build-up.
In many cases, households can experience a flow rate much lower than 12l/min. In these instances, the incoming mains water flow can be increased using a pump. Testing a water flow rate with AquaScan is very simple.
Boosting water pressure could be the answer to saving both water and energy in households. AquaScan helps to perform static and dynamic water pressure test. It is important to measure water pressure before you choose and instal any water boosting product.
Temperature control is the traditional strategy for reducing the risk of Legionella in water systems from one hand and reducing scalding incidents from another. Cold water systems should be maintained, where possible, at a temperature below 20°C. Hot water should be stored at least at 60 °C and distributed so that it reaches a temperature of 50 °C (55 °C in healthcare premises) within one minute at the outlets. AquaScan precisely measures water temperature.
Hard water contains high amounts of dissolved calcium and magnesium. Water hardness and scale build-up can significantly affect household appliances, leading to increased energy usage and costs. AquaScan will give an indication of hardness via Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to determine whether a further chemical composition analysis should be undertaken to understand the exact mineral content. Once you have identified hard water areas, you can install a water conditioner to prevent limescale build-up.
Press power button to turn AquaScan on and off.
Live readings are shown on the digital display including maximum and live measurements. While AquaScan turned on and connected to an outlet press reset button to reset peak values.
The user can easily select between alternative displays using the display button.
AquaScan is powered by a battery, rechargeable via a USB-C input.
FAQs
View allAquaScan can be used to measure pressure, flow, temperature, and hardness (TDS/EC) whenever there is a need to record accurate measurements.
The AquaScan is a portable, handheld unit which can be used at an outlet and requires no permanent install into a system to obtain readings of water flow, pressure, temperature, and hardness.
A garden tap is the best location to measure the incoming flow rate. When this isn’t possible, such as in properties where there is no outside tap, measuring the flow rate while multiple outlets are open is the best way to calculate the incoming flow rate. As this ensures any restrictive outlets do not impact the measurement.
Static Pressure Test
Note: the pressure should always read “0.0” before removing the unit from the outlet
Dynamic Pressure Test
Note: the pressure should always read “0.0” before removing the unit from the outlet
Note: It is advised to allow water to flow through the unit for 30-60 seconds for a more accurate reading.
Static water – won’t show if there is a flow of water. Water hardness should be tested before a water softener to measure TDS/EC (total dissolved solids/electrical conductivity).
AquaScan provides live readings. It also shows ‘peak’ readings when taking a measurement to accommodate any fluctuations when testing.
AquaScan is suitable only to test clean water flow, pressure, temperature and hardness. The device shouldn’t be use for testing any other liquids (dirty water, oil, etc.)
AquaScan is now available for purchase from selected online resellers and available to pre-order via your local merchant.
