Autosampler

An automatic fluid sampler, comprising:

• a chassis having an interior compartment and an external lid, the chassis having a water inlet and a water outlet;
• an interior housing in the interior compartment, the interior housing having a compartment lid;
• an upper manifold in the interior compartment connected to the water inlet, the upper manifold having an upper manifold outlet;
• a lower manifold in the interior compartment connected to the water outlet by a lower manifold outlet;
• an array of slots in the interior housing, each slot having an inlet valve connected to the upper manifold and an outlet valve connected to the lower manifold;
• at least one self-preserving filter in one of the array of slots positioned between the inlet valve and the outlet valve for the one of the array of slots;
• a pump to move the water from the water inlet to the water outlet, the pump having a pump water inlet connected to the upper manifold outlet and lower manifold outlet;
• a controller configured to operate the pump, the water inlet, and the inlet valve of each slot to cause water from the water inlet to flow to the water outlet through the filter for that slot;
• and
• a power source to provide power to the pump and the controller.

• an upper manifold in the interior compartment connected to the water inlet, the upper manifold having an upper manifold outlet;
• a lower manifold in the interior compartment connected to the water outlet by a lower manifold outlet;
• an array of eight slots in the interior housing, each slot having an inlet valve connected to the upper manifold and an outlet valve connected to the lower manifold;
• a self-preserving filter in each of the array of eight slots positioned between the inlet valve and the outlet valve for the one of the array of slots;
• a pump to move the water from the water inlet to the water outlet, the pump having a pump water inlet connected to the upper manifold outlet and lower manifold outlet;
• user controls to allow the user to provide inputs to the system;
• a display;
• a system on module controller mounted on the external lid, the system on module controller configured to accept user control signals, store data in a memory, and display information on the display;
• a distribution board;
• a pump controller to control operation of the pump, monitor sensors near the water outlet, and send control signals to the distribution board, the distribution board to send power signals to the inlet valves and the outlet valves;
• and
• a power source to provide power to the pump and the controller.
