This device is designed for use in the field and is a simplified water
sampler. The sample is collected in a removable inner chamber which is
overflowed ten times to insure a representative sample. Samples may be
taken at a controlled depth by using a calibrated line. Attaching the two
pound weight to the bottom of the sampling device insures rapid descent
and minimizes the amount of drift due to currents. More weight should be
attached to the sampling device in strong currents.
It is necessary to maintain a position directly over the Water Sampler
when lowering it so that it remains in an upright position. This permits
the displacement of all of the air in the sampler so that it will fill
completely.
It should be noted that the bubbles of air displaced from the sampler will
be observed downstream.
