Depth or time-integrated water sampling made easy
The Integrating Water Sampler IWS III is a light and handy instrument for the acquisition of summing (integrated) water samples according to the EU-WFD (European Water Framework Directive). The integrated sample is automatically achieved in one single draft. There is no need for repeated operations of standard water samplers, followed by mixing procedures.
The sampling technique is very simple. An electric motor actuates a piston inside a transparent tube. A microprocessor controls the sampling procedure according to the pre-selected depth, time, or spot scenario. A built-in high-precision pressure sensor cares for accurate depth measurements. The Power supply of the sampler is made of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, using the safest chemistry currently available.
Sampling is made easy with the IWS III
→ select a sampling mode via hand unit or PC
→ enter the requested depth or time interval
→ put the sampler into the water and lower it to desired depth
→ the sample will be precisely aspirated according to the selected scenario
→ recover the sampler after the end of the selected depth, time, or spot scenario
→ extract the sample by opening the hose clamp located at the bottom of the sampler
→ repeat the scenario by simply pressing the quick-start key
