Model 407 Bladder Pumps & Model 408 Double Valve Pumps are each available in two sizes. The stainless steel Pumps are ideal for applications where VOC analysis of the sample is important. They are excellent for most municipal, industrial, and general environmental sampling purposes. The lower cost 1.66" PVC pumps are ideal for metals sampling and highly-corrosive environments.
With the Model 407, the bladder does not allow any air to contact the sample water, as such, representative samples are always obtained. PFAS-free Santoprene® bladders are standard and are ideal for longterm, dedicated use. The easy-to-replace bladder cartridges also make them convenient for short-term or one-time use applications.
Double Valve Pumps operate without a bladder, allowing for higher flow rates, and easy disassembly for decontamination. If operated with precision, air will never contact the sample water, producing repeatable, representative samples.
With tubing reels and wells caps, both the Bladder Pumps and Double Valve Pumps have portable and dedicated installation options. Operating these pneumatic Pumps is easy using a 12V Compressor and the custom or pre-set sampling modes built into the Model 464 Electronic Pump Control Unit.
The Model 408M Micro Double Valve Pump is only 3/8" (9.5 mm) in diameter. It is constructed from very flexible coaxial PFAS-free PTFE tubing, with stainless steel fittings and a filter that is simple to clean and replace. This Pump provides low flow sampling from 20 ml/min to 200 ml/min, to depths of 73 m (240 ft.).
The Pump fits in 1/2" (13 mm) ID tubing, making it ideal for sampling in the narrow channels of a Solinst Model 403 CMT® Multilevel System and the 5/8" (16 mm) open tubes of a Model 401 Waterloo Multilevel System.
