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
