Waterra 1 UP Peristaltic Pump
Waterra has developed an innovative portable peristaltic pump for sampling ground and surface water. Incorporating Lithium Iron Phosphate (LIFE) batteries to reduce weight, and present a better power performance profile, the 1 UP Pump with a 20 amp hour (Ahr) battery weighs less than 21 pounds ( 9.6 kg). Conventional SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries are an option as well as the cost less but weigh twice as much as LIFE batteries. The pump features a convenient ergonomic handle that also serves to protect the pump head.
