Water Quality

Aqua TROLL 800

The Aqua TROLL 800 is a super versatile, fully customisable, seven-port multiparameter water quality probe designed for accurate and reliable water quality monitoring.

The Aqua TROLL 800 combines the best of both worlds.

For field use, live data can be viewed via the VuSitu Mobile App using any Bluetooth enabled Apple or Android phone or tablet.  Technicians can review readings, check instrument status, configure settings and complete calibrations directly in the field.  There is no need to purchase an additional handset.

For unattended deployments, the Aqua TROLL 800 records data to internal memory and a micro SD card for backup data protection.  Long battery life and compatible telemetry options support reliable monitoring over extended periods without regular site visits.

The Aqua TROLL 800 is suitable for:

• Long Term Unattended Logging
• Spot Checking
• Low Flow Groundwater Sampling
• Groundwater Monitoring
• Surface Water
• Fresh Water
• Saltwater
• Lakes, Rivers and Wetlands
• Coastal Monitoring
• Stormwater Management
• Dam Monitoring
• Mine Water Monitoring
• Remediation Monitoring

Sensor Suite

The Aqua TROLL 800 is fully configurable with up to six interchangeable sensors, plus an optional antifouling wiper to ensure data accuracy.

Available parameters include:

• Temperature (Temp)
• Conductivity (EC)
• pH
• Oxidation reduction potential (ORP)
• Rugged dissolved oxygen (RDO)
• Turbidity (Turb)
• Chlorophyll a
• Phycocyanin
• Phycoerythrin (BGA-PC)
• Fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM)
• Crude oil
• Rhodamine WT
• Fluorescein WT
• Ammonium (ISE)
• Chloride (ISE)
• Nitrate (ISE)

Note: Combination pH/ORP and Temp/EC sensors are available to extend your sensor capacity!

Please consult with Aqualab regarding your sensor selection.

Both vented and non-vented pressure sensors are available (optional) in the following ranges:

• 0 to 10 m
• 0 to 30 m
• 0 to 100 m
• 0 to 250 m

Note: the pressure sensor does not occupy one of the six available ports.

Low Flow Sampling

The Aqua TROLL 800 is suitable for use when low flow groundwater sampling when coupled with its optional flow cell.

The Aqua TROLL 800, when used with a flow cell and VuSitu Mobile App on a compatible iPad or Android tablet, allows technicians to view readings and trends in real time, use the Groundwater Sampling Assistant to assess parameter stabilisation, minimise manual transcription, generate calibration and low flow reports, and securely manage field data.

This integrated approach helps technicians identify when representative sampling conditions have been achieved while improving consistency, efficiency and data traceability across groundwater monitoring programs.

Power & Internal Logging

The Aqua TROLL 800 has two power options:

• Two user replaceable alkaline D batteries
• Optional external power supply, 8 to 36 VDC

Typical battery life is:

• More than 6 months with wiper operation
• More than 9 months without wiper operation

Actual battery life depends on the selected sensors, logging interval, wiping frequency and site conditions.

The Aqua TROLL 800 includes 16 MB of internal memory and can store up to 50 log files.  An included, user replaceable micro SD card records backup log files in CSV format for added data protection.

Rugged Buoy

The Rugged Buoy is a reliable, cost effective monitoring platform for long term deployment of water quality instruments and telemetry equipment in ponds, lakes, bays, rivers and coastal near shore environments.

Antifouling Options

An optional dual-sided antifouling wiper is available for long term deployments.  The wiper cleans the sensors and restrictor simultaneously to help maintain measurement quality and reduce maintenance requirements.

Cable Options

Cable options include:

• Vented polyurethane cable
• Non-vented polyurethane cable
• Vented Tefzel cable
• Twist Lock termination
• Flying lead termination

Cables and telemetry equipment are sold separately.

Communication Options

The Aqua TROLL 800 supports the following outputs:

• Bluetooth
• RS-485/MODBUS
• SDI-12

The Aqua TROLL 800 can be configured and calibrated using the VuSitu Mobile App.  It can also connect with VuLink telemetry equipment, SCADA/PLC systems, HydroVu Data Services and compatible third party data loggers, samplers, controllers and telemetry systems.

Accessories

Available accessories include:

• Dual-sided antifouling wiper
• Copper restrictor
• VuLink telemetry equipment
• External power options
