Abstract

A device that assess the quality of drinking water is shown. Such device measures the quality parameters that determine the physical (turbidity), chemical (conductivity), bacteriological (fecal coliform) and satisfaction (temperature and pH) condition of drinking water. The instrument can be used by families since it is easy to use, has an immediate response, has a low cost and allows you to know if the water being measured falls within the norm and therefore can be drunk. It stores in memory the date and time of the measurement, as well as the measured water quality parameters and results are compared with the standard. The stored information is transferred by activating a cell phone application, first, to the cell phone itself with the Android system and then it is retransmitted along with the cell phone's GPS position to a server. The user can additionally consult the information with their cell phone application to know the water quality conditions in their location. The device is compact and portable (approximately the size of a cell phone) and is the only probe that measures known drinking water quality parameters of that size and with instantaneous response (1 to 3 seconds), including for the detection of fecal coliforms.
