AquaScan

Digital Water Multimeter

AquaScan is a 4-in-1 handheld digital tool designed to precisely measure water

Flow
Pressure
Temperature
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 installation, but to also quickly understand if there are any water temperature, pressure and/or flow issues in an existing or new pump installation as well as identify any hard water areas that could be detrimental to energy efficiency due to limescale build-up. 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.

AquaScan unit is supplied in a robust case with a range of connection accessories.

AquaScan - 4-in-1 Digital Water Multimeter | Animation

Introduction to AquaScan

AquaScan is a digital water multimeter which combines the technology to measure pressure, flow, temperature, and hardness via total dissolved solids (TDS)/ in one unit.

Readings are shown on the digital display including peak and live measurements.

AquaScan is supplied in a robust storage case with a range of accessories for easy connection to common outlet types.

AquaScan - How It Works

How AquaScan Works

Press power button to turn AquaScan on and off.

Live readings are shown on the digital display including peak 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.

Case Study

Using AquaScan when Servicing an Unvented Cylinder or Recommending a Combination Boiler.

Ryan Mills is a plumbing and heating professional based in Scotland. He frequently carries out annual servicing on unvented hot water cylinders. This includes essential testing for temperature control and measuring flow rates, which he now uses AquaScan for.

Can I test the temperature of hot water with AquaScan?

Yes, you can use AquaScan to test a hot water temperature up to 85°C.

Do I need a Salamander Pumps product to use the AquaScan?

AquaScan can be used to measure pressure, flow, temperature, and hardness (TDS/EC) whenever there is a need to record accurate measurements.

Does AquaScan need to be installed into pipework during operation?

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.

How do you measure water flow rate in the mains with AquaScan?

Connect AquaScan to the outlet.
Ensure the isolation valve on AquaScan is fully open.
Take three measurements from the live ‘Flow’ reading.
Calculate the average of the three measurements.

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.

Attach AquaScan to one outlet and turn on.
Ensure the isolation valve on AquaScan is fully open.
Record the flow rate.
Open another outlet (so both are turned on).
Check the flow rate on AquaScan:
- If the flow rate remains the same, then continue to open further outlets until it decreases.
- If the flow rate decreases, use AquaScan to measure the flow rate at each outlet (all outlets must remain turned on), make a note of the flow rate in the specification notepad. Add together the flow rates to determine the total flow rate.

How do I check the water pressure with AquaScan?

Static Pressure Test

Connect AquaScan to the outlet.
Allow flow through the unit and then close the isolation valve on the outlet of the unit.
Ensure all outlets in the property are closed during test.
Record the “Pressure” reading shown on the screen.
Open the isolation valve to allow water to flow and then turn off the outlet.

Note: the pressure should always read “0.0” before removing the unit from the outlet

Dynamic Pressure Test

Connect AquaScan to the outlet.
Fully open the isolation valve on the outlet of the unit.
Open the outlet and allow flow through the unit until the desired flow rate is reached.
Record the “Pressure” reading shown on the screen.
Turn off the outlet.

Note: the pressure should always read “0.0” before removing the unit from the outlet

How do I measure water temperature in the house with AquaScan?

Connect AquaScan to the outlet.
Open the isolation valve on the outlet of the unit and position over a suitable container for the flow to discharge into such as a basin or bucket.
Fully open the outlet to allow water to flow through the unit.
Record the “Temperature” reading shown on the screen.

Note: It is advised to allow water to flow through the unit for 30-60 seconds for a more accurate reading.

How do I test the water hardness with AquaScan?

Connect AquaScan to the outlet.
Ensure that the lever is in the closed position.
Settling time (minimum of 30 seconds) – for 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).

Can AquaScan store/ save measured readings?

AquaScan provides live readings. It also shows ‘peak’ readings when taking a measurement to accommodate any fluctuations when testing.
