Hello Jessica, I filter sewage samples on site with a hand vacuum pump that comes with a car brake bleeding kit. The kits are inexpensive and are available at any auto supply store. No batteries and they develop significant suction.

I need something that is durable, light-weight and holds a charge. It will be used daily and transported in a backpack over difficult terrain and long distances, and we will not be able to recharge it daily. I have been looking at Cole-Parmer's global water portable sampling pumps, and superficially they look like they might fit the bill. If anyone has any experience working with these or others and can make recommendations on what might work best for me, I would appreciate it.
