General information
The Delagua water-quality tester pack is comprised of an incubator and testing equipment to perform: faecal coliform bacteria counts, residual free and total chlorine tests, pH tests, turbidity tests, and electrical conductivity and temperature tests.
The kit comes with a set of consumables to perform 200 tests.
Consumable replacement sets can be ordered separately. Refer to options.
The battery included in the Delagua kit should be charged every 2 weeks during storage, a charger is included in the kit.
Incubator: Temperature 44°C, powered by a 12V internal battery (charger supplied), capacity: can accommodate 16 x 47mm aluminium Petri dish simultaneously.
Faecal coliform count:
- The kit includes a portable battery-powered incubator capable of powering five incubation cycles without being connected to a source of power: mains electrical system, generator or vehicle power. The faecal coliform counts can be obtained within 14 to 18 hours of sampling, and provides a reliable indication of any sanitary risks without the need to transport samples to a laboratory.
Turbidity test:
- The turbidity tube measures the amount of suspended matter in a water supply, suspended material may consume chlorine disinfectants, treatment is required prior to disinfection.
Chlorine and pH tests:
- Using simple pool-testing equipment, emergency water supplies dosed with chlorine disinfectant can be tested for total and residual chlorine levels as well as for pH.
- These tests enable rapid assessment of chlorine levels and aid the efficient control of dosing, thereby avoiding waste while ensuring that enough chlorine is present to safeguard the supply.
Conductivity
- A conductivity meter is provided as an optional component in the kit. Conductivity provides an indication of contamination, e.g., saline intrusion, sewage pollution. Upon request, additional equipment required to test for chemicals of local concern can be included in the kit.
Additional equipment needed to start testing:
- Pressure cooker, portable sterilizer or access to an autoclave, e.g. in a hospital.
- Methanol (approx. 1ml per test), must be obtained locally as shipment is IATA regulated.
- Distilled water.
- A 1-litre-measuring cylinder or beaker.
