Water Quality

Aqua TROLL 600

The Aqua TROLL 600 is a rugged multiparameter water quality sonde designed for accurate spot checking, low flow sampling and long term unattended monitoring. It has five ports, providing capacity for up to four interchangeable sensors plus an optional antifouling wiper.

The Aqua TROLL 600 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.  Users 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 600 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 600 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

Low Flow Sampling

The Aqua TROLL 600 is suitable for use when low flow groundwater sampling when coupled with its optional flow cell.

The Aqua TROLL 600, 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.
