Portable Samplers are designed to rigorously and reliably take automatic samples of liquid. All models include:
- Accuracy. Samples are always within +/- 2 cc's or +/- 2% repeatability.
- Vacuum-Technology. The vacuum-method of water sampler is the most reliable and accurate method to date. It is also the most powerful sampler.
- Easy-to-Maneuver Case. The PVS 4150 portable samplers are easily maneuvered with wheels, four side handles, and telescoping handle. Ideal for situations where portability is an issue.
- Dust-Tight Enclosure. The enclosure of the PVS 4150 portable samplers is tightly sealed and able to keep samples clean in dirty environments.
- Multi-Function Input Controller. Includes a 16-button keypad and two-line liquid crystal display. Easy to use and program. Set it up once and let it run for decades.
- Warranty. THREE FULL YEARS from date received (one year for refrigerator). Extended warranty optional up to five years.

Portable Automatic Water Sampler Options:
- Custom-Built Samplers. Each sampler can be custom-designed to meet the particular specifications of an environment. Call for details.
- Pressure / Vacuum Gauge. Displays current status of sampler in operation. Helpful when door is closed and for troubleshooting a plugged line.
- Additional Cables and Batteries. Helpful for charging from multiple locations, and for longer sampling times.
- Stainless Steel Sinker Strainer. Helps prevent hose clogging in rigorous applications with heavy material in the source liquid.
- Moisture Sensor. Placed at the end of the intake line. When water comes in contact with the sensor it will initiate sampling. Useful for locations with source liquid that dries up, and sampler needs to begin sampling when liquid enters the area.
- Precipitation Sensor. An external sensor placed in a cylindrical container in a location where rainfall will be present. When the rain reaches a preset level, it will initiate the sampler.
- Quick-Connect. Stainless Steel connectors for quick connecting/disconnecting of intake tubing.
- External Signal Cable. For sampling with inputs from flow meters, etc., the external signal cable, built-in to the battery cable, allows for inputs from pulse and 4-20mA.
- External Equipment. Including Flow Meters, pH Sensors, Data Loggers, Rain Loggers, Temperature, etc.
