Campbell Scientific offers both portable and stationary automatic water samplers for storm water, waste water, or other water quality applications. These water sampling systems use external vacuum pumps to draw water through intake tubing, instead of the traditional peristaltic pumps that induce flow by squeezing flexible tubing. Advantages of the vacuum pump method include faster water sampling rates, better vertical lifts, longer sampling distances, and less maintenance. Because the vacuum method disturbs the water samples less, they better represent the original water solution, especially if the solution has high concentrations of suspended solids.
The automatic water samplers offered by Campbell Scientific include a controller that can accept a pulse input (e.g., rain gauge), a 4 to 20 mA signal (e.g. flow meter), or initiate a sample on a timed basis. The water samplers can also be interfaced with our data loggers. Our data loggers can measure nearly any turbidity, water level, or hydrometeorological sensor, as well as control the sampler based on time, event, or measured conditions.
These water samplers are perfect for mine site water quality management. We offer a range of environmental sensors to measure salinity, acidity, turbidity and evapotranspiration. These water sampling systems are perfect for project scoping and benchmarking, water management planning, water quality policy adherence, de-watering monitoring and post mine shut-down inspections. Can be used as part of a groundwater monitoring systems, borehole monitoring as well as surface water quality assessment for ponds, rivers, dams etc.
