New app for the technical assessment of drinking water systems

The func­tion of drink­ing water instal­la­tions must be checked reg­u­lar­ly. Water tem­per­a­tures, for exam­ple, must be record­ed and doc­u­ment­ed as part of a haz­ard analy­sis at the tap­ping points. Those respon­si­ble in pub­lic insti­tu­tions, hos­pi­tals, nurs­ing homes, but also land­lords or the hous­ing indus­try are often faced with a major bureau­crat­ic chal­lenge and a con­stant need for train­ing for those car­ry­ing out the work due to the many guide­lines that must be observed.
The new AFRISO TOOLBOX app promis­es to help here and offers relief for every­day mea­sure­ment with the smart CAPBs® sen­sor mod­ule FlowTemp® ST as a flow and tem­per­a­ture mea­sur­ing device. The app for iOs and Android is lit­er­al­ly like a tool­box that sim­pli­fies the pro­fes­sion­al exe­cu­tion of many com­plex mea­sur­ing or test­ing tasks in the field of build­ing ser­vices instal­la­tion and makes them pos­si­ble quick­ly via smart­phone or tablet. For the mar­ket launch, the in-apps “Tem­per­a­ture Pro­file” and “Ther­mal Dis­in­fec­tion” will be pre­sent­ed, which will enor­mous­ly facil­i­tate the dai­ly work of hygiene offi­cers, dis­in­fec­tors, jan­i­tors or installers.
Already in the office, in the run-up to the mea­sure­ment, the cor­re­spond­ing build­ings can be cre­at­ed in the app with their rooms, floors, indi­vid­ual water tap­ping points and addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion. If one is respon­si­ble for the man­age­ment of sev­er­al build­ings or if the mea­sure­ments are car­ried out for oth­er com­pa­nies, this data can also be assigned to the building.
At the loca­tion of the mea­sure­ment, the per­son per­form­ing the mea­sure­ment then access­es the data direct­ly and is guid­ed through the respec­tive rooms to the water tap­ping points to be mea­sured in the so-called “mea­sure­ment with order”. If rooms or mea­sur­ing points have been for­got­ten dur­ing the pre-con­fig­u­ra­tion, they can be added at any time lat­er. For the actu­al mea­sur­ing process, the flow and tem­per­a­ture mea­sur­ing device FlowTemp® ST is con­nect­ed direct­ly to the smartphone.
Like all oth­er CAPBs® mod­u­lar sen­sor mod­ules, FlowTemp® ST uses the Blue­tooth® Smart inter­face avail­able in smart­phones or tablets for this pur­pose. After suc­cess­ful con­nec­tion, the record­ed mea­sure­ment data can be trans­mit­ted wire­less­ly and with­out delay. The app guides the user “step by step” through the mea­sure­ment and pro­vides pre­cise infor­ma­tion on the nec­es­sary pro­ce­dure of the work step — in accor­dance with the respec­tive cur­rent stan­dards and regulations.
