Embodiment Construction

[0022] First refer to figure 1 , the method according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: adding a sample 10 of water or another fluid from a water source to the reaction chamber 12 to be tested. In the arrangement shown, the reaction chamber takes the form of a test tube. However, it will be appreciated that reaction chamber 12 may take a range of other forms. Also positioned within reaction chamber 12 is a tablet 14 of reagent. While a tablet 14 is shown, it will be appreciated that the agent may be in other forms, for example it may be in powder or liquid form.

[0023] Water sample 10 may take the form of water taken from a body of water, such as a lake, river, swimming pool, or ocean in which the activity is to take place. Alternatively, it may comprise tap water from a piped water supply, water drawn from a well or borehole, or water from a tank, cistern or the like. Furthermore, the samples may be other fluids from eg the food an...

Abstract

A water quality testing method, operable to detect the presence or level of faecal contamination of water, is described comprising the steps of placing a water sample (10) within a reaction chamber (12) containing a reagent, the reagent being in, for example, tablet form, or placing the water sample (10) within a single use reaction chamber (12) pre-packaged with a single dose of the reagent, incubating the sample (10) at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time to form a reaction solution (10a), and using the colour or darkness of the solution (10a) to provide an indication of the water quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in testing water quality and other fluids, and in particular, to tests for fecal contamination thereof. The present invention relates to a simple method and apparatus allowing a test for faecal contamination to be carried out at the location where water or similar samples are taken, the output of which can be obtained rapidly, thereby providing water or other approximately real-time indication of fecal contamination of the sample. References herein to testing water quality are intended to mean tests for the presence of faecal contamination of water or other fluids by using faecal indicator bacteria as indicators of the presence of such contamination. Background technique [0002] There are many applications where it is desirable to be able to provide an indication of water quality, and in particular its faecal contamination. By way of example, where a water-based activity (such as swimmi...
