Periodic lab samples
An accurate snapshot. Long gaps in between.
Bathing water intelligence for municipalities and bathing sites
The future of bathing water monitoring is continuous.
Beach Pulse continuously estimates E. coli levels in bathing water, giving you better information, fewer laboratory samples and lower monitoring costs.
More data. Fewer laboratory samples. Better decisions.
How the sonde measures
The sonde hangs under the jetty, well below the surface and out of the way of swimmers. It continuously collects water measurements that the Beach Pulse algorithm turns into an estimated E. coli level between lab samples. This is not a laboratory analysis. It is continuous decision support, calibrated against accredited labs.

Validated in real bathing waters
Beach Pulse combines multiple calibrated water-quality measurements, environmental data and a proprietary algorithm to estimate E. coli concentrations from about 10-2,000 CFU/100 ml. The technology has been deployed and validated in live waters, not only in the laboratory.
From periodic sampling to continuous intelligence
Laboratory samples provide an accurate snapshot. Beach Pulse provides the information between those snapshots. Continuous monitoring shows when conditions change, so laboratory samples can be focused where and when they are needed.
Continuous estimation
The information between samples. Test when the data says it is needed.
How it works
What you get
Continuous monitoring
See what happens between individual samples.
Targeted laboratory samples
Take laboratory samples when the data indicates verification is needed.
Lower total cost
Gain better information with fewer expensive routine samples.
A new standard for bathing water monitoring
For decades, bathing water monitoring has meant collecting samples, sending them to a laboratory and waiting for results. Beach Pulse brings that process into the digital age.
Continuous monitoring is not just more efficient. It is the next step.
