The Solinst Bladder Pump features a new design providing consistent, high-quality samples in all types of applications. It offers excellent performance and reliability. With Solinst Bladder Pumps, there is the assurance that there is no air/water contact during sampling. It meets the most rigorous US EPA standards for VOC groundwater monitoring.
The bladder guarantees that drive air or gas does not contact the sample, thus avoiding degassing or contamination. Solinst Bladder Pumps are rugged and long-lasting. Santoprene bladders are ideal for dedication, however, the new easy-to-replace bladder cartridges are excellent for those who prefer to change bladders after each use. The bladder and intake filters are simply replaced in the field in just a few minutes—no special tools are required.
Excellent for either regular flow or low flow sampling, the stainless steel pumps can lift from depths up to 150 m (500 ft) below grade. The new PVC Bladder Pump operates up to 100 ft (30 m) below grade.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. 
 
 With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
