Overview
The Solinst Model 408 stainless steel double valve pump (DVP) is a pneumatic drive pump that allows consistent, high-quality samples. No bladder replacement is required, and the Double Valve Pump provides higher pumping rates than the Solinst Integra Bladder Pump. There is a selection of sizes and materials, variable flow rates, and it is field serviceable.
Applications
The DVP is suitable for low-flow or regular-flow sampling. The stainless steel pumps can operate to depths of 500 ft (150 m), and the PVC Double-Valve Pump can operate to depths of 100 ft (30 m). Everything is easily accessible, replaceable, and interchangeable. All components can be cleaned with mild detergent or non-phosphate soap. Pumps are not damaged by operation in sediment-laden water or dry pumping conditions.
Mechanics
Flow rates vary with the pump's depth below the surface, the depth below water level, the size of the drive and sample tubing, the drive and vent cycle times, the gas pressure applied, the aquifer recharge, and the size of the pump body.

Solinst groundwater samplers: Versatile options for a variety of applications
Groundwater sampling can be a challenging task that requires different tools for different applications. Solinst groundwater samplers offer the capability to obtain commonly needed representative samples of groundwater using different approaches of water withdrawal. Solinst’s 425 Discrete Interval Sampler uses passive sampling to grab water from a specific depth. The 407 Bladder Pump enables continuous airtight low flow sampling. The 408 Double Valve Pump can continuously sample at variable rates. “One sampler isn’t necessarily going to be for every site,” said Randy Blackburn, Solinst product manager. Each has different means of fluid sampling. The 425 sampler relies on a manual air pump that pressurizes the sampler based on the water depth.

It’s a Buoy! Highlighting the New NexSens XB-200 Data Buoy
As scientists seek to better understand aquatic ecosystems, utilizing small data buoys to monitor offshore and cover more water is becoming commonplace. The new NexSens Technology XB-200 data buoy was designed for inland and coastal monitoring applications. Although compact, the platform is designed with adequate space for multiple sensors and measurement electronics. When configured with the NexSens X3 data logger with IoT connectivity, internal batteries, solar panels, select sensors, and other accessories, the new buoy provides an off-the-shelf solution for any monitoring project. The new buoy concept was developed by the NexSens product development team with significant user input.

Predicting and Monitoring Ice Weather Events: The Great Lakes Approach to Ice Research
Ice cover on the Great Lakes provides numerous recreational and economic opportunities, including ice fishing, snowmobile charters, and ice caves on the lakes. Unfortunately, declining ice cover and increasing related weather events due to climate change, as well as other environmental stressors, have put such opportunities at risk. Historically, understanding winter weather has been difficult largely due to a lack of observations and, as a result, communities surrounding the Great Lakes have been left underprepared for extreme events.
