AquaVerify

Water quality control for companies and facilities

Turn every water sample into auditable evidence. AquaVerify connects microbiology kits, sampling workflows, laboratory partners and digital traceability for drinking water, process water, treatment, irrigation, reuse and aquaculture environments.

Water quality control for companies and facilities

Water control can no longer depend on scattered records

Quality teams need more than a result. They need to show where the sample was taken, which method was used, who handled it, when it was reviewed and how the evidence supports an operational or audit decision.

  • Invisible microbiological risk in raw, treated, reclaimed or process water
  • Slow decisions when analysis, reading and reporting are disconnected
  • Difficult audits caused by paper, spreadsheets, emails and isolated reports
  • Operational cost from repeated samples, overtreatment or avoidable uncertainty

Control programmes adapted to your sector

AquaVerify can be configured for utilities, food and beverage sites, environmental laboratories, treatment plants, agriculture, seafood and aquaculture. Each programme starts from the matrix, sampling points, risk profile and reporting requirement.

  • Municipal water and utilities: source, treatment and network evidence
  • Food and beverage: process water, cleaning, rinse water and release decisions
  • Environmental laboratories: microbiology capacity, sample history and client reporting
  • Treatment plants: barrier verification, trend follow-up and corrective-action records

Microbiology technology plus digital traceability

AquaVerify combines products, laboratory workflows and AquaVerify Cloud so every result can remain linked to sample context, product lot, operator, location, review status and report.

  • ENUMERA, INDICA and standard kit routes for quantitative or screening workflows
  • Somatic coliphage, E. coli, enterococci and other indicator workflows depending on the programme
  • LIMS, reporting and customer portal for recurring monitoring
  • Dashboards, alerts and history for distributed quality teams

From sampling point to audit-ready report

The operational flow is simple: define the control programme, select method and execution route, digitise the chain of sample, record reading and validation, then convert results into report, action and follow-up.

  • Sampling plan and critical points
  • Internal kit, partner laboratory or hybrid execution
  • Location, user, date, time, matrix, batch and status
  • Report, history, alerts and corrective-action record

Regulation and audits demand better water evidence

European and US water monitoring frameworks increasingly emphasise risk management, operational monitoring, treatment verification and documented evidence. AquaVerify helps teams organise that evidence without replacing the validation responsibilities of the laboratory or regulated operator.

  • EU Drinking Water Directive 2020/2184 includes risk-based operational monitoring and somatic coliphage context
  • Spain RD 3/2023 sets technical-health criteria for drinking water quality, control and supply
  • Regulation (EU) 2020/741 addresses minimum requirements for water reuse in agricultural irrigation
  • ISO 10705-2 and EPA Method 1602 provide recognised reference context for somatic coliphage workflows

Designed for teams that answer to audits, production and risk

Different stakeholders need different proof. AquaVerify structures the programme so quality, operations, laboratory and management teams can work from the same record.

  • Water quality directors: turn sampling points into traceable evidence
  • QA managers: validate critical water before production decisions
  • Lab directors: standardise sample-to-report flow and client communication
  • Treatment, agriculture and aquaculture teams: track deviations by site, source or campaign

What your AquaVerify programme can include

The configuration depends on water type, matrix, sample volume, risk level, internal laboratory capacity and reporting needs.

  • Products and media for water microbiology workflows
  • Sampling app and Cloud record for operator, location and result context
  • LIMS, CoA and reporting templates
  • GIS, trend analysis and escalation rules for multi-site operations

Is your water control programme audit-ready?

In a short technical diagnosis we review your sector, water type, current method, sample volume, accreditation needs and reporting friction. The output is a recommended route: products, laboratory workflow, SaaS, reporting or a combination.

  • Map the current workflow
  • Identify gaps in traceability and decision speed
  • Select product and method routes
  • Define the most useful digital layer

  • Indicator microorganism

    An indicator microorganism is a microorganism whose presence or concentration is used to infer contamination, treatment effectiveness or deterioration of a water system.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Fecal contamination

    Fecal contamination is the presence or evidence of human or animal fecal material in a water matrix. It is assessed through indicators such as E. coli, enterococci, coliforms and, in selected programs, coliphages.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Somatic coliphages

    Somatic coliphages are bacteriophages that infect Escherichia coli and other enterobacteria through cell-wall receptors. They are used as operational viral indicators in water quality programs and treatment evaluation.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Escherichia coli (E. coli)

    Escherichia coli is a thermotolerant coliform bacterium used worldwide as an indicator of recent fecal contamination. Its presence in drinking water generally requires investigation and corrective action under the applicable framework.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Intestinal enterococci

    Intestinal enterococci are Gram-positive bacteria associated with the human and animal gastrointestinal tract. Their relative persistence makes them useful indicators in recreational waters, environmental waters and selected control plans.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Matrix

    A matrix is the type of sample or environment being analysed, such as drinking water, reclaimed water, pool water, wastewater, surface water, process water or irrigation water.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Sampling point

    A sampling point is the physical location or source where a sample is taken. It should be linked to customer, matrix, analytical plan and traceability.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Deviation

    A deviation is an incident or nonconformity against a plan, procedure, criterion or expectation. It should be documented, assessed and closed according to procedure.

    Sector relevance: Useful for selecting the right method, product family, sampling point, report or traceability workflow in water quality programs.

  • Water safety plan

    A water safety plan is a documented plan that identifies risks, controls, sampling points, responsibilities, monitoring and corrective actions in a water system.
