The solution

Continuous E. coli estimation

Beach Pulse continuously estimates E. coli concentrations in bathing water across the range that matters for bathing water management. Instead of waiting for the next scheduled sample, municipalities get an ongoing picture of how water quality develops.

How it works

Multiple calibrated water-quality sensors collect data from the bathing site. Beach Pulse combines those measurements with environmental and standard weather data. Our algorithm estimates E. coli levels and flags significant changes.

From measurement to decision

When Beach Pulse indicates elevated or changing E. coli levels, laboratory testing can be targeted to verify the result.

We do not replace laboratory testing. We make it targeted.

Better monitoring can also cost less

Continuous information can reduce the need for routine laboratory testing while giving a much more detailed picture of bathing water quality.

The objective is simple: improve monitoring while reducing its total cost.

Proven where it matters: in the water

Beach Pulse is not a laboratory concept. The technology has been deployed and validated in live bathing waters under real conditions. That real-world validation is a central difference.

Beach Pulse does not replace legally required or certified laboratory analysis. Continuous estimation makes testing more targeted and can reduce total monitoring cost.
