The WS700 composite/discrete water sampler’s state of the art water sampler controller gives you complete control over your water sampling process. With the water sample size control, you can take individual time-weighted composite samples or full-bottle discrete grab samples in a 2 gallon (7.5 L) sample bottle.
The water sample interval control allows you set the time between individual composite samples or enable the external trigger mode for flow proportional sampling. A start delay timer allows you to start multiple composite/discrete water samplers in the field at the same time, or to delay drawing a water sample after a triggering event so that your water sample better represents the water source. An automatic 15 second back-flush cycle clears any debris from the strainer and empties the water from the hose so the next composite sample is not contaminated.
The WS700 composite/discrete water samplers are easy to set up in the field, and their rugged rainproof enclosure can be padlocked and/or chained to prevent tampering, plus they can be easily hidden or camouflaged to prevent vandalism. The sampler’s also lightweight enough that even with a full sample bottle it can be suspended in a manhole for wastewater or stormwater sampling.
Comes with: a 2-gallon polyethylene sample bottle for collecting composite samples, a peristaltic sampling pump, a circuit board controller, and a rechargeable gel cell battery. Also provided is a sample pick-up hose and a battery charger. Everything you need is provided for a successful wastewater management or environmental monitoring program.
Low Power
The composite/discrete water sampler’s 5 AH rechargeable battery will power the sampler for several months or several sampling events.
Overflow Protection
The composite/discrete water sampler’s sample bottle is equipped with a float switch that automatically turns off the peristaltic sampling pump if the water bottle becomes full.
Sample Size
The user can adjust the composite/discrete water sampler’s sample size to one of 15 composite sample sizes from 50ml to 2 litres plus a full bottle discrete setting and the composite/discrete water sampler’s sample interval to one of 15 time settings from 5 min. to 12 hours plus an external trigger mode setting for flow proportional sampling.
Flow Proportional Sampling
An external pulse-type flow meter can control the water sample interval for true flow proportional sampling. The Open Channel Flow Monitor has a flow-proportional output signal for triggering the WS700 composite/discrete water samplers.
