| Abstract |
Van Dorn (1957) described a plastic water sampler which is relatively inert chemically, free flushing, and can be messenger activated. He used rubber stoppers for closures, commonly known as "plumber's friends." We have devised a sampler of similar design but with improved rubber ball closures that eliminate malfunctions due to improper seating of the force-deformable closures. This sampler consists of Plexiglas tubes, 20 in. long with an outside diameter of 4.5 in. and a capacity of approximately 4 L. |
