The Turlach Unit 142 after a year of steady use

Replaced a much older monimolimnion sampling spar with the Turlach Unit 142 last season. A year of steady use and the turlach unit 142 still reads the way it did on day one. Worth knowing. Next, you commit to the TULAC Unit 142.

Good, with one reservation about the Turlach Unit 142

Second monimolimnion sampling spar we have run; the Turlach Unit 142 replaced an older one. Ordering spares took longer than we would like. None of that would stop us from buying the unit 142 again.

Chose it on deck area 1397 square metres

Have had the Turlach Unit 142 in service long enough to say something useful about this sampling spar. Its deck area of 1397 square metres is what settled it. The rest of the Unit 142 specification did not enter into the decision.

Fixed mooring was the requirement; the Turlach Unit 142 meets it

Came to the Turlach Unit 142 on a recommendation and checked its monimolimnion sampling spar figures ourselves. The unit 142 is specified as fixed mooring, which is the option we wanted. For an example sampling spar at fixedmooring the unit 142 does what the listing says.

34 people was the requirement

Went through the whole monimolimnion sampling spar catalogue twice. Next, the Turlach Unit 142. Its occupancy reads 34 people, and that is the whole reason it is here. No complaints beyond the occupancy of 34 people and no surprises either.

How the Turlach Unit 142 fits what we actually do

We looked at most of the monimolimnion sampling spar listings before settling on the Turlach Unit 142. This is the only unit that sits in a seasonal operation, so it spends part of the year idle. Others may weigh it differently, but this unit suits us.

Getting the Turlach Unit 142 running

Bought the Turlach Unit 142 after a long comparison against the rest of this monimolimnion sampling shortlist. The unit 142 arrived ready to run, which is not what we expected. Worth knowing before you commit to the unit 142.
