The document outlines the specifications for a water sampling system, detailing the components and requirements necessary for the system's effective operation. Key elements include a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) that regulates a submersible pump’s discharge flow rate across a wide range (from 8 GPM to 100 ml/min) and operates at depths of up to 275 ft. The VFD and the system are designed to withstand various environmental conditions, with protective features for motor operations.
Additional components consist of a 15 ft extension cord, a portable electric reel with specific dimensions and features to prevent damage, a 250 ft polyethylene hose that accommodates conductors and a stainless steel hose barb fitting. The system also includes a submersible pump, constructed of chemically inert materials without lead, capable of continuous discharge flows.
Assembly of the hose onto the pump and reel is included. This document serves as a clear request for proposal (RFP) from the federal government, focusing on rigorous standards and specifications to ensure reliability and compliance in water sampling methodologies.
