aquaBio, the automated solution for the microbiological control of water on beaches

During episodes of heavy rainfall, discharges from the sewage system into bathing areas force beaches to close due to poor water quality.

Adasa offers aquaBio, a pioneering service for the automatic measurement of the microbiological quality of water, aimed at beach managers and managers. This system allows the simultaneous measurement of Escherichia coli and enterococci, providing results in just 3 hours in highly polluted water and 12 hours to ensure the absence of microorganisms.

aquaBio stands out for its ability to operate autonomously for up to 30 days without the need to recharge reagents or disinfectant solution, which significantly reduces maintenance tasks and optimises municipal resources.

The system offers two purchasing options: a service with a fixed monthly fee that includes transport, consumables, reagents and maintenance, or direct purchase for a long-term investment.

All Adasa products comply with the highest quality standards and international certifications, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and EMAS. aquaBIO also has the European verification ETV (Environmental Technology Verification) which guarantees that the data provided by aquaBio is reliable and our clients can make decisions derived from monitoring with aquaBio with total confidence.

The main benefits for municipalities and beach managers include:

  1. Real-time control to minimise pollution and health risks to bathers.
  2. Improved user confidence thanks to clearer and daily updated public information.
  3. Optimised management of bathing areas and better knowledge of pollution dispersion patterns.
  4. Monitoring of pollution episodes in real time to shorten beach reopening times¡

aquaBio is a key tool for guaranteeing the safety and quality of bathing waters, facilitating the work of municipal technicians and reinforcing the image of Spanish beaches as safe and sustainable destinations.
