Designed by UMS, a leading German instrumentation company, they reflect years of field experience and solid German design. Pore water samplers are an inexpensive way to pull water from the soil for your analysis. These samplers allow you to monitor chemicals, chemical movement, leaching, drainage, and leakage problems in the soil.
A pore water sampler consists of a sampling tube with a porous cup tip. The sampler is buried in the root zone and a pump is used to create a vacuum in the sampler. This draws soil water through the ceramic cup and into the sampler (5 to 10 minutes). Liquid is removed by syringe for subsequent EC, pH, or complete nutrient analysis. Three or four water samplers are recommended for each vegetation type or treatment.
Applications:
Monitor the presence of fertilizers and other chemicals in the soil.
Monitor the movement of chemicals through the soil over time.
Adjust chemical applications to apply varying amounts as needed to satisfy root-zone requirements.
Prevent over-application and movement of chemicals below to well-water and groundwater supplies.
Ensure the beneficial leaching of damaging salts below the root zone.
Detect leakage from lagoons, ponds, and industrial waste facilities.
