INTRODUCTION
2.3
Safety First
Infection
Aquacell P2 Wastewater Samplers and associated Sample Collection Vessels have
been designed to minimise the risk of operator contact with the potentially hazardous
wastewater medium, however great care should always be exercised when working in
close proximity to wastewater. Particular attention should be paid to the following points:
1. Wash hands thoroughly after handling contaminated sampler parts
2. Do not allow wastewater to come into contact with any open wounds or skin
abrasions
3. If any glass has become cracked or chipped replace immediately to avoid the risk of
cuts
Electrical
Aquacell P2 Wastewater Samplers specified with Mains connection are powered by an
AC mains supply. As all mains voltage terminals are safely housed behind protective
covers then contact with dangerous voltages is avoided. Always check the integrity of
the mains cable/connector before use
Mechanical
Care should be taken, whilst the sampler is in operation, to avoid trapping fingers in the
Pinch Valve Assembly, whilst this does not pose a serious injury risk it could cause
some discomfort
Care should be taken when lowering the Sampler module onto its base, to avoid
trapping fingers where the plastic plugs meet the aluminium socket tubes
The Sampler can be supplied with a glass Sample Chamber and glass Sampler
Collection Vessels, if this is the case care should be taken when handling as these can
be very slippery when wet
The User Guide
This User Guide relates to the complete Aquacell P2 Portable Wastewater Sampler
range. Much of the information supplied applies equally to all formats, however, where
information relates to a specific format, Sample Collection Vessel or Optional Equipment
then this will be stated
The Aquacell P2 sampling system is designed for ease of operation and maintenance. If
followed carefully the instructions given in this guide should quickly enable you to
assemble, program and deploy your new Aquacell Sampler and start to benefit from the
collection of truly representative samples of your wastewater

INTRODUCTION
2.4
The Sampling Process
The Aquacell P2 Wastewater Sampler extracts
individual Sample Shots from a wastewater
channel or vessel according to a predetermined
program and deposits them into one or more
Sample Collection Vessels. In this way the user is
provided with a representative sample of the
wastewater discharge
The benefits of using a Sampler to automatically collect volumes of the wastewater
effluent are varied but are often:
a) Reduce the pollution load of the discharge (to fall within consent limitations)
b) Reducing water company effluent charges
c) Reducing product wastage
Following collection the way in which the samples are processed will vary from
application to application. For example samples can be:
Analysed using in-house laboratory facilities –when the objective of taking samples
is to gain a greater knowledge of the discharge profile
Sent to a specialist analytical laboratory for analysis - when an independent
assessment of the discharge is required
Made available to the local Water Company as a source of data on which to base
charges. Self-monitoring is being increasingly encouraged by water companies both
in the interests of accurate charging and to encourage dischargers to improve plant
efficiency, and so reduce the pollution load of their discharge

INTRODUCTION
2.5
The Aquacell P2 Portable Sampler Range
The Aquacell P2 range of Portable Automatic Wastewater Samplers are designed for
flexibility of application with simplicity of operation
As with all Aquamatic Samplers each model in the Aquacell P2 range is compliant with
the UK Environment Agencies MCERTS standard for Automatic Wastewater Sampling
Equipment
The Aquacell P2 sampling system is designed such that conversion from one variant to
another is readily achieved by simply transferring the Aquacell Sampler module from
one base to another
The range has 3 primary variants, all centred around on a common Aquacell sampler
module. The variants are as follows:
Aquacell P2-COMPACT
As its name suggests, the P2-COMPACT is a super-compact unit and includes a 5 litre
polyethylene Sample Container

INTRODUCTION
2.6
Aquacell P2-COOLBOX
This variant collects samples in a 5 litre polypropylene sample container and stores
them for up to 5 days at between 0°C and 5°C (this is deemed to be the optimum
storage temperature range for bio-degradable samples)
* Optimum sample temperature holding duration will vary considerably with ambient temperature
