A Unique Solution for Accoustic Water Leak Detection

Aqua M300D is a portable, accoutic water leak detection instrument, from FAST GmbH (Germany).

The Aque M300 D includes a  clear and concise display panel to view the leak status effectively. 256 free and automatic adjustable filter settings achieve effective reduction of noise interference and therefore offer unsurpassed results. The instrument’s automatic adjustment and filtration of amplification ensures that even the smallest leak is located.

Even the most advanced filter cannot suppress all interference noise, because of this some leaks are only partially audible. In these cases, the Aqua M-300D is fitted with the ultimate Tracer Gas Technology to locate the leak. This decades-proven, safe and accepted method by the international Water Wise Associations (DVGW, IWA, AWWA etc...) is now available for the first time in this smart combination.

The localisation of plastic pipes is still a major challenge. The Aqua M-300D, in combination with the PWG, offers an excellent complement to conventional systems, like ground radar and fiberglass detection probes.

Aqua M300 D features a ‘pyramid mode’ which works by means of intelligent algorithms in the background to automatically optimise the leak information and thereby enable an unmatched precision in determining the location  of the leak. By using these innovative and unique methods of measurement with a ultimate Chebyshev analogue with a filter width of 48 dB/octave slope, noise pollution effectively is eliminated. The integrated data logger function provides a highly detailed and accurate profile of the leak. This is particularly useful in situations with high levels of ambient noise. By recording the sound for a maximum of one hour and closing the pipeline to check, the leak noise can be safely distinguished from pollution noises.
