Water Samplers

Automatic samplers play a key role in helping facilities meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. ISCO water samplers support regulatory compliance by enabling accurate, time-based or flow-weighted composite sampling of effluent discharges. With modular options and rugged enclosures, these systems are ideal for long-term deployment at outfalls, treatment plant discharge points, and other regulated locations. Reliable sample collection ensures defensible data for reporting, auditing, and enforcement response.

Managing stormwater runoff is critical for both regulatory compliance and environmental protection. ISCO automatic samplers are trusted tools for stormwater monitoring programs, offering reliable performance during unpredictable weather events. Designed to trigger on rainfall, flow, or level thresholds, these samplers capture first-flush events and composite samples over the duration of a storm. With options for portable or permanent installation, they provide the flexibility needed for municipal, industrial, and construction site runoff monitoring.

In industrial and municipal facilities, automatic samplers support continuous improvement by capturing representative samples from key process streams. ISCO samplers help identify variability, optimize chemical dosing, and verify treatment performance over time. Whether integrated into a SCADA system or configured for standalone operation, these samplers deliver high-resolution data for process control decisions and troubleshooting. With modular communication options and corrosion-resistant materials, they’re built to handle demanding environments.

Wastewater-Based Surveillance (WBS) is an emerging tool for tracking public health trends through the analysis of sewage. ISCO automatic samplers are widely used by universities, municipalities, and public health agencies to collect time-weighted or flow-proportional samples for pathogen and biomarker analysis. With programmable schedules, remote communication options, and rugged designs, ISCO samplers provide consistent, high-quality samples needed for viral load monitoring, epidemiological studies, and early warning systems.

Monitoring for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) requires sampling equipment that minimizes contamination and preserves sample integrity. ISCO automatic samplers are designed with PFAS-compatible components and customizable configurations to meet stringent sampling protocols. Whether deployed for regulatory compliance, source tracking, or research, these samplers enable accurate time-based or flow-weighted composite collection in municipal, industrial, and environmental applications. Paired with proper sample handling, they support defensible data generation for this critical class of emerging contaminants.

Routine monitoring of fluoride levels in drinking water treatment plants is essential for public health and regulatory compliance. ISCO automatic samplers streamline this process by collecting reliable, consistent samples from finished water or intermediate stages. With programmable schedules and precise volume control, they reduce manual sampling burden while ensuring traceable fluoride data. Durable construction and compatibility with treated water make them ideal for long-term use in drinking water applications.

Automatic samplers are essential for monitoring industrial users contributing to a municipal wastewater system. ISCO samplers help enforce pretreatment standards by collecting representative flow-weighted or time-based samples at discharge points. With rugged enclosures and flexible programming, they can withstand harsh environments and irregular flow conditions. These systems support defensible data collection for compliance, surcharge billing, and enforcement, protecting treatment plant operations and downstream water quality.

ISCO automatic samplers support stream monitoring programs by enabling unattended sample collection in remote and challenging environments. Whether tracking seasonal changes, pollutant loading, or upstream/downstream impacts, these samplers offer time-based and event-triggered sampling for comprehensive data sets. With battery power options, rugged weatherproof housings, and modular accessories like rain gauges and flow modules, they’re ideal for long-term deployment in watershed studies and environmental assessments.

Understanding water quality across a watershed requires consistent, high-quality sampling from multiple locations. ISCO automatic samplers provide a reliable solution for capturing spatial and temporal data across streams, tributaries, and discharge points. With remote communications, solar power options, and rugged enclosures, they support year-round deployment in challenging field conditions. Ideal for tracking nutrient loading, land use impacts, or regulatory compliance, ISCO samplers help researchers and agencies make informed watershed management decisions.
