Hobbies And Interests
Bladder Pumps
Bladder pumps have the ability to collect very accurate representative ground water samples that provide reproducible data time and time again. Bladder pumps are EPA approved for low flow sampling. Bladder pumps are also useful for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis. They are also reusable and in some cases portable.
Composite Samplers
Composite water samplers are useful for a wide variety of above ground sampling including storm water, industrial discharge, water and waste water treatment, waste collection systems and testing rivers and streams. They are reusable and often portable.
Dataloggers, Transducers and Water Level Meters
Dataloggers, transducers and water level meters are generally for checking groundwater and surface water levels, but some units may serve to check rainwater levels as well. Many units are equipped to work in dangerous or corrosive environments. Dataloggers and transducers tend to look like small pods that you place into the water directly, whereas water level meters tend to have a large spool of material that you lower into the water and which is attached to the meter itself.
Peristaltic Pumps
A peristaltic pump or roller pump uses positive displacement for pumping a variety of fluids. Peristaltic pumps are a good choice to pump clean/sterile or aggressive fluids, because they do not allow cross contamination.
Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps are go directly into the water that is to be sampled. The advantage to a submersible pump is that this process stops pump cavitation by negating the effect of the pump itself and the sampling surface being at a different level.
Stream Flow Probes
Stream flow probes measure the volumetric flow of water in rivers, streams, irrigation ditches, sanitary pipes or other places where there is flowing water.
Pneumatic Pumps
Pneumatic pumps are useful when you need high pressure to bring a sample to the surface. Pneumatic pumps have a two piston system that make this possible.
