To tackle the challenge of remote Legionella monitoring and start developing an optimal solution, the initial order of 17 Hygiene Sensors and 2 Bluetooth gateways were installed and went live. Aguardio’s Sensors were strategically installed on electric showers and hot and cold taps across the fire stations, initiating the data collection process. 

The process of gathering data from Aguardio’s sensors started and analysed on Aguardio’s online platform, Aguardio Hub, to ensure that the devices were proving the right data in order to efficiently comply with Legionella monitoring as well as provide insights into the usage patterns of the building.

The process resulted in Aguardio’s sensors, strategically placed on hot or cold taps, demonstrated their capability to provide precise temperature readings (temperature stamps) after 60 seconds of water flow – one stamp for cold water and two stamps for hot water.

These temperature reading were integrated into Aguardio’s online platform, Aguardio Hub, enabling fire station managers to search for specific fire stations, sensors and their status with either green light indication for water outlets that “passed” the test successfully and red light indication, meaning that a new test needs to be performed.
