DelAgua Portable Water Quality Testing KitsManufactured by DelAgua Ltd, the kits were originally designed in collaboration with the University of Surrey, a world leader in environmental monitoring, and OXFAM, a Global leader in Aid and Relief provision. With this level of expertise, the kit focuses on simplicity, durability, ease of portability and user-centric features. Its high quality design and components have made it the drinking water quality testing kit of choice for many NGO's and other organisations across 130 countries. Water Quality ParametersThe standard kits cater for the 6 basic parameters of water quality as set by the World Health Authority (WHO) and recognised globally. These are:
The DelAgua Kit RangeCurrently the DelAgua kits comprise of three units, each having its own benefits, dependent upon the water testing requirements. These units all share the same design ethos of user-centric benefits to ensure that comfort, simplicity, accuracy and repeatability are never compromised. • The Basic Single Incubator KitComplete with the accessories listed below, the basic single incubator kit comprises of a fully integrated rechargeable lead acetate battery housed with a single, calibration capable incubation chamber set to incubate at 44°C, to isolate thermotolerant coliforms. These components are fully sealed in a NATO standard, vented slimline case balanced around the handle. It weighs a very portable 10Kg.  • The Dual Incubator KitThe Dual kit shares the same casing as the basic kit, and comes with all accessories listed below. However, the Dual kit has a separate battery system with equally robust casing plus connecting cables, to make way for a second incubation chamber capable of incubation at either 44°C for a doubling of capacity, or at 37°C to give a total coliform count within the same testing run as the Faecal count. The weight of the kit is 8.75Kg with the battery an additional 10Kg.  • The Lightweight Incubator KitAs the name suggests, the lightweight kit weighs just 6Kg. It offers all the features of the basic single incubator kit with the exception of not having an integral battery system. As such, the lightweight kit requires a separate power source such as a car battery or even mains electrical supply. This kit is suitable for testing in a laboratory or where vehicle access and availability of car-sourced power is not compromised. Unique FeaturesThe DelAgua testing kits are the only commercially available kits that offer the ability test for the 6 parameters of Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Coliform, pH, Temperature and Turbidity within a NATO standard highly durable and rugged single housed waterproof pelican case, measuring parameters according to WHO guidelines.The DelAgua kits are the only kits offering a one-way venting system from the closed case, ensuring no water ingress. Other available kits use a hole in the case, compromising the water integrity. The Basic Single Incubator Kit is the only commercially available kit to operate with a fully internalised and sealed rechargeable battery system. Uniquely thicker re-usable petri dishes ensure that the internal samples and membranes do not come into contact with the internal surface of the dish lid should the dishes become compressed when held, ensuring sample integrity. Jackson Tube for turbidity measurement uniquely offered in a 2 piece assembly to reduce wear and decrease the potential for leakage of sample, unlike alternative kits which have a three part tube. The Dual kit allows simultaneous measurement of both faecal (thermotolerant) and total coliforms. This ensures that initial sample conditions are identical and offers reliable comparison and ratio analysis. It also significantly reduces (by a full working day) the time required to test for both parameters with a single kit.
