Studies of the resuspension of bottom sediment require periodic collection of samples at several levels close to the bottom. We have designed a bottom‐mounted support rod with intakes for pumping water samples from fixed levels above the bottom. All of the sampling tubes are purged continuously, and samples are selected with a special 6‐way valve.
