Sampler Handbook (pdf)

 

Every municipality and industry with wastewater requires a water sampler to actively monitor the effluent they are producing. Although it is possible to take grab samples at regular intervals, eventually the time and cost associated with manually obtaining a water sample become excessive, and the need for an automatic water sampler becomes necessary to save on time and costs, and to enable the practice of long-term monitoring.

The most important factors to consider when purchasing a water sampler include not only cost and performance, but most importantly, reliability, ease-of-use, and durability (i.e. how long will the water sampler last before needing complete replacement). In order to make a proper decision on which type of water sampler should be purchased, a number of helpful questions can be used to guide the process:

 
 


 
 
SIRCO Samplers: Not Your Average Water Sampler
  There are many advantages to choosing a SIRCO Water Sampler for automated liquid sampling. With over forty years of experience, these water samplers are built-to-last with a rugged design and decades of improvements to match the needs of 21st Century users. SIRCO is the leader in long-lasting reliability and performance.

High Velocity is easily attained using SIRCO's vacuum-pump system of sampling. The EPA reports that higher vacuum samplers result in more accurate samples for locations with more "stuff" in the water. In other words, faster is better when it comes to automatic water sampler accuracy. SIRCO Samplers can sample at speeds in excess of 7 ft/sec, and the pump strength allows for over 2.5 ft/sec at 250 ft away!

Volume Repeatability is never an issue with the vacuum-method of sampling, since the water is first drawn into a metering chamber before being released into the sample chamber. On the other hand, peristaltic-samplers pull water through the tubing and measure volume by pump counts, which results in sample volumes that can vary greatly each time.

Replacement Parts are seldom needed with the SIRCO water sampler system. Some customers need literally NO spare parts for the first five years of sampler use. Unlike peristaltic-sampler technology, which uses tubing to pull the liquid into the chamber, thus wearing down the tubing and pump rapidly, vacuum-samplers need little to no new parts in their first few years.

Maintenance is simple with the SIRCO system. Simply remove and clean the metering chamber (easily done within twenty seconds), for most applications.

The Controller of the SIRCO water sampler is Easy-to-Use and program, with a 16-button keypad and 2 line character display. For simple programming, download our basic instruction sheet.

Warranty on all new SIRCO Samplers is an unprecedented THREE YEARS, with the option of an extended warranty of FIVE YEARS. No one else in the industry has come close to this statement of reliability and dependability.

SIRCO Samplers have been manufactured since the early 1960s and have gained a reputation to be high-quality equipment.

Many major cities across the United States and Canada use SIRCO Samplers exclusively in all their plants, including: South Tahoe, CA; Denver, CO; Seattle, WA; Lehigh County, PA, Vancouver, BC; Region of Durham, ON (Toronto); Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Spokane, WA.
