If your aim is to lower your cost of ownership, reduce maintenance, and ensure reliable access to actionable water quality data, you can’t do better than In-Situ’s Aqua TROLL seven-port multiparameter instruments. And there’s never been a better opportunity to try them.

In-Situ is running a limited-time offer on the Aqua TROLL 700 and 800 that makes it more affordable than ever to take advantage of our

shared ecosystem of products designed to simplify water monitoring (see offer details below).

The Aqua TROLL 700 and 800 fully customizable, seven-port multiparameter sondes, with a capacity for six interchangeable sensors and an antifouling wiper, offer the flexibility, reliability, and ruggedness required for spot checking, remote monitoring, and long-term monitoring in surface water and coastal applications.

Use the Aqua TROLL with a Wireless TROLL Com and the VuSitu mobile app for spot-checking and profiling applications, as well as VuLink telemetry and HydroVu data services for long-term monitoring. These multiparameter instruments with fast-response, interchangeable sensors are designed with forethought and care for the work you do.

With every instrument, you can count on:

Low-Maintenance Deployment

Flat sensor faces, a titanium restrictor, and industry-leading active and passive antifouling withstand the harshest environments.

Extended battery life, integrated optical compensation, and stable reference design minimize the need for instrument maintenance during long-term deployments.

Low Cost of Ownership

A mini calibration cup onboard uses only 100 mL of solution for both rinsing and calibration, reducing the cost of calibration by five times over traditional methods. Flexible maintenance plans are available with new instrument purchases to save on service costs, minimize downtime, and ensure optimal performance.

A Shared Ecosystem

Like all In-Situ instruments, Aqua TROLLs are compatible with all cables, software, and accessories in our shared ecosystem for easy integration into a variety of deployments. With the powerful VuSitu mobile app, you can view readings instantly from any mobile device and easily set up or calibrate instruments.

And now, with the addition of VuSitu HydroVu Cloud Connection, VuSitu instantly uploads files to your HydroVu account for safe, secure, redundant backup of field data. Access all critical files in a central location for free. Logs, live recordings, and calibration reports are automatically sent to HydroVu. Never again lose critical files. Graph “offline” data alongside telemetered data. And keep a full calibration report history at your fingertips in one secure location.

Proven in the field

Depending on where you are in the world, if you’re running a coastal monitoring, construction, or conservation project, you’re most likely required to monitor water quality parameters like turbidity to keep within prescribed limits and minimize damage to aquatic life within the project zone. Continuous water quality data is often required to meet regulatory requirements and avoid costly project delays.

In a typical application, In-Situ customers deploy the Aqua TROLL to monitor turbidity, temperature, salinity, and other water quality parameters during project operations. The Aqua TROLL, in combination with a VuLink telemetry device and In-Situ’s HydroVu data services, provides clients with access to water quality data in real time.

VuLink-transmitted data makes it easy to correlate grab samples in the lab, satellite images, and other data throughout the project. Armed with robust, actionable data at their fingertips, customers are able to maintain compliance for the duration of their projects.

As these coastal development and monitoring projects become more common and funding for them increases, effective water quality monitoring during operations will be essential.

Improved Data Collection

If you’re due to upgrade old instrumentation, tired of unreachable and inconsistent customer support, or simply ready for an easier water quality monitoring experience, we encourage you to take advantage of our special promotion:

With your trade-in of another manufacturer’s water-quality instrument and purchase of an Aqua TROLL 700 or 800 and water-quality sensors, you’ll receive a Wireless TROLL Com and Rugged Twist-Lock Cable, to connect your instrument to a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device and a one-year subscription to In-Situ Care Plus, a proactive maintenance plan, free of charge. Sensor options include temperature, conductivity, pH/ORP, Rugged Dissolved Oxygen (RDO®), turbidity, chlorophyll a, phycocyanin (BGA-PC), phycoerythrin (BGA-PE), FDOM, crude oil, rhodamine wt., fluorescein wt., ammonium (ISE), chloride (ISE) and nitrate (ISE).

Take your monitoring program to the next level for less, with reliable equipment designed to last for years.
