Abstract
A liquid sampler is provided for collecting a sample of a liquid, the liquid sampler comprising: a tube which includes a proximal end and a distal end, and a bore therebetween; a resilient member which is removably housed in the bore; a first plug which is attached to a distal end of the resilient member; at least a second plug which is attached to the resilient member, proximally to the first plug; and a grip which is attached to a second end of the resilient member, wherein one or more of the second plug and grip extend outward from the distal end and the proximal end respectively, in use.

A liquid sampler for collecting a sample of a liquid, the liquid sampler comprising:
- a tube which includes a proximal end and a distal end, and a bore therebetween;
- a resilient member which is removably housed in the bore;
- a first plug which is attached to a distal end of the resilient member;
- at least a second plug which is attached to the resilient member proximally to the first plug;
- and a motor in motive communication with the resilient member.
A liquid sampler for collecting a sample of a liquid, the liquid sampler comprising:
- a tube which includes a proximal end and a distal end, and a bore therebetween;
- a resilient member which is removably housed in the bore;
- a first plug which is attached to a distal end of the resilient member;
- at least a second plug which is attached to the resilient member proximally to the first plug;
- and a grip which is attached to a second end of the resilient member, wherein the grip extends outward from the proximal end.
A method of sampling a liquid in a body of liquid, the method comprising:
- providing a liquid sampler, the liquid sampler including a tube which includes a proximal end and a distal end, and a bore therebetween, a resilient member which is removably housed in the bore, a first plug which is attached to a first end of the resilient member, at least a second plug spaced a distance apart from the first plug on the resilient member, and either a hand grip or a winch at the proximal end;
- immersing the tube in a body of liquid;
- urging the resilient member along the bore to draw the plugs into the bore;
- and collecting the liquid in the tube.
