How it works
AquaVial Splash combines two chromogenic vials — one selective for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (hot-tub folliculitis risk, 1 CFU/mL sensitivity) and one for total bacteria (500 CFU/mL action threshold). Both run at room temperature with no incubator.
Collect 5 mL pool / hot tub sample into each of the 2 vials
Cap; place at room temperature on a flat surface
Bacteria vial: read at 24 hr · Pseudomonas vial: read at 48 hr
Any visible color change → confirm hot-tub treatment / drain protocol

Comparison
vs. traditional lab testing
Membrane filtration lab culture (ISO 9215 R2A media (7 day incubation))
Off-site, multi-day turnaround. Requires lab account, membrane filtration manifold, and qualified microbiology technician. Per-test cost from $40–$120 plus shipping.
On-site, same-day result
Targeted Pseudomonas detection without a microbiology lab. Two channels in one kit covers both routine bacteria checks and the specific hot-tub Pseudomonas risk.
Detection chemistry
How it detects
Dual-channel chromogenic dye (Pseudomonas-selective + total bacteria)
Rapid, lab-free chemistry designed for on-site water-quality screening. See product specification sheet for full details.
