An installation and a method for monitoring the quality of water in a potable water network

摘要

The invention relates to equipment (30) for monitoring the quality of water, said equipment intended to be mounted on a pipe (18) dedicated to dispensing water to a consumer. The invention is characterized in that the equipment comprises: a probe (32) for measuring at least one parameter of the water flowing in the pipe; a contamination detection device (46) for detecting the possible presence of a contamination using measurements taken by the probe; a device (36) for detecting a backflow in the water pipe; a disinfection device (40) for disinfecting the water in the pipe and/or a shutoff valve for blocking the pipe; and a controller (50) for actuating the disinfection device and/or the shutoff valve depending on the data provided by the contamination detection device and the backflow detection device, thus enabling the monitoring of the quality of the water dispensed to or returned by the consumer.
