Instructions for the correct collection of water samples
Container: clean glass/plastic bottles; e.g. mineral water bottles
Volume: at least 2 L per sample
Sampling points: Inlet + outlet
- Measure temperature on site at the sampling point and note it down
- Label bottle: sampling point, date, time, sampler if applicable
- Rinse the bottle (including the lid!) several times with the sample.
- Hold the bottle horizontally at the water surface and slowly lower it 20-30cm so that the water can SLOWLY flow into it - avoid splashing!
See figure 1 - 5. if possible, close the bottle under water without air bubbles, also remove air bubbles from the lid beforehand (turn upwards under water!).
If not possible: Fill the bottle completely without air bubbles, form a water dome on the bottle opening with the help of the lid and close the bottle,
See figure 2 - For transport or storage, COOL the samples! (4-7°C)
Proceed in the same way for each sample.
