The Romess Aqua 10 is an extremely reliable and precise portable device specifically developed for the quick and accurate testing of brake fluid quality. This tool is essential for any service where safe and effective brake system maintenance is a top priority. The Aqua 10 allows for the immediate determination of the moisture content (water percentage) in the brake fluid, thereby helping to prevent corrosion and maintain braking efficiency.
The Aqua 10 combines user-friendly design with professional accuracy, making it an ideal choice for everyday workshop tasks.
Quick and Easy Measurement: The device is capable of evaluating the condition of the brake fluid extremely quickly, thus minimizing diagnostic time.
High Accuracy: Provides reliable results regarding the moisture content of the brake fluid, which is a critical factor for brake system performance.
Portable Design: Its compact size and light weight make it ideal for mobile use, even for on-site checks performed next to the vehicle.
Intuitive Operation: It can be used with minimal training time thanks to its simple user interface.
Wide Compatibility: Compatible with the most common brake fluid types, ensuring versatile applicability.

Due to the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid (tendency to absorb water), water ingress into the system is inevitable over time. This moisture drastically reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid.
Brake Fade: At high temperatures (during intense braking), water evaporates, forming vapor bubbles in the hydraulic system. The vapor is compressible, unlike the fluid, which can lead to brake pedal „sponginess” or complete loss of braking.
Corrosion: Water damages the internal metal components of the brake system (brake lines, calipers, master cylinder), which over time leads to leaks and costly repairs.
With Aqua 10, service personnel can proactively identify critical brake fluid condition and recommend replacement, thus guaranteeing optimal safety levels.
Using Aqua 10 is extremely simple, making it ideal for quick checks:
Preparation: Determine if the device component is in proper condition.
Sample Collection: Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap. Immerse the probe into the brake fluid, ensuring it does not touch the bottom or side of the reservoir.
Starting Measurement: Press the power button. The device will automatically perform the measurement.
Result Evaluation: The result is displayed as a percentage on the screen. The following table helps in interpreting the results:
| Water Content (%) | Condition | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0% – 1.0% | Excellent / Acceptable | No immediate intervention required. |
| 1.1% – 2.0% | Warning / Near Threshold | It is recommended to replace the brake fluid at the next service appointment. |
| 2.1% – 3.0% | Critical | Immediate replacement of the brake fluid is recommended for safety. |
| Above 3.1% | Dangerous | Immediate replacement of brake fluid is mandatory. |
The Romess Aqua 10 is the ideal choice for:
Passenger car workshops
Truck and commercial vehicle repair shops
Brake testing stations
Tire services (where brake checks are also performed)
Fleet managers and maintenance departments of vehicle fleets
The Romess Aqua 10 is not just a measuring device, but the foundation for safe and reliable vehicle operation.
