EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE QUALITY OF WATER IN A DRINKING WATER NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to an installation (30) for monitoring the quality of water and designed to be installed on a pipe (18) dedicated to distributing water to a consumer. The invention is characterized in that the installation comprises: • a probe (32) for measuring at least one parameter of the water flowing in the pipe; • a contamination detector device (46) for detecting the presence, if any, of contamination on the basis of measurements performed by the probe; • a reverse flow detector device (36) for detecting reverse flow in said pipe; • a disinfection device (40) for disinfecting the water in the pipe and/or a cutoff valve for closing the pipe; and • a control member (50) for actuating the disinfection device and/or the cutoff valve as a function of data provided by the contamination detector device and the reverse flow detector device, whereby the quality of the water delivered to or returned by the consumer is monitored.
