I’m-site lake water testing in the field
The Lake Pulse Toolbox

Aisle · Field Testing

The gear you use off your own dock.

Field tools that anyone can use Lake Pulse offers you portable, easy-to-use field testing and monitoring solutions that allow you to measure key parameters such as turbidity and bacteria levels right in the field, or observations of health & safety risks around the lake. While not a replacement for lab precision, field testing is cost-effective, ideal for frequent sampling, and powerful for identifying pollution hotspots and tracking water quality trends over time. It’s a practical, first-response tool for fast, informed lake management. * More offerings coming soon *
