The Waterra PowerPack PP1 provides the mechanical actuation for pumping with inertial pumps to depths of over 60m, in a fully portable, single operator power unit. At 13 kg, the PowerPack PP1 provides outstanding pumping performance. The PP1 is powerful enough to lift water from over 60m depth using the Standard Flow System, and is so compact that it fits onto a back-pack frame. The PowerPack PP1 incorporates clamps for Waterra High Flow and Standard tubing sizes (adaptors are available for smaller tubes). A Honda GX-25 series, 1.0 horsepower, 4 stroke, gasoline motor powers this device, which can run for approximately 1 hour without refuelling. -
The Hydrolift is a portable, 240v operated electric device that is used to automate the operation of the Waterra Pump System. This actuator is perfect for purging and sampling 50mm diameter monitoring wells up to 60m deep. In special circumstances it can lift up to 90m. This electrical Tubing Actuator is optimized to operate with the Standard Flow System up to its maximum effective depth and will operate with the High Flow System up to a depth of 45m. This Tubing Actuator is the ideal choice for the frequent user of the Waterra Pumping System with moderate to extreme pumping requirements (Low, Standard and High Flow). Using the Hydrolift will result in a big boost to your field sampling program. The Hydrolift is powered by a 3/4 horsepower (560 watts) electric motor and generates a 4 inch (10 cm) stroke at up to 140 cycles per minute. The Hydrolift weighs about 16 kg and requires an electrical power supply of at least 1000 watts. *Please note the Hydrolift requires a generator to power it. See image 2 for an animation on how the system works. -
Turn your BioTubing into a groundwater pump Waterra footvalves or inertial pumps have long been a reliable and effective way to sample groundwater. They consist of a one-way checkvalve which connects to a length of HDPE BioTubing. Oscillating the tubing up and down in the well produces a flow of water. The tubing can also be connected to external pumps such as the Waterra Powerpack or PowerPump. Waterra footvalves can be a great sampling solution for narrow diameter wells. Fieldtech Solutions stock a range of the most popular sizes such as the D25, D32, and D16 footvalves. Each of these can connect to our BioTubing which allows it to function as a manual groundwater pump.

The Waterra 1 UP Peristaltic Sampling Pump can be powered by 110 and 220V AC, external 12VDC or its 12V internal battery. Suction lifts up to 8.5m. 4 Battery Choices LIFE Batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries that weigh about one half the weight of the SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries. LIFE batteries a have better discharge curve, maintaining higher voltages for longer. Available in 20 Ahr and 12 Ahr formats. A LIFE 12 Ahr 1 UP Pump weighs less than 8.1kg and the 20 AHr unit weighs less than 9.5kg. SLA Batteries are Sealed Lead Acid conventional batteries that are a less expensive than LIFE batteries, but weigh about twice as much. Available in 20 Ahr and 12 Ahr formats. -

The Shelby sampler is a thin-walled soil sampling system. The system is used to sample soils that are particularly sensitive to sampling disturbance, as it has a very low wall thickness-to-sample area ratio. The sampler consists of a thin walled steel tube whose lower end is shaped to form a cutting edge. Fieldtech Solutions is now stocking U63 and U50 Shelby Tubes and drive heads. Drive Heads are available in AW, AWJ, or NWJ box threads. -
Using syringes for groundwater filtration in the field is a popular low-cost option. It can be an ideal choice if you are not using a pump, and have a manual device such as a bailer. When using a syringe 50ml at a time can be pushed through a filter. Small low-capacity filters can be used where turbidity is low. However if turbidity is high then it may be better to use a high capacity filter such as the AquaPore Biodegradable Filter Capsule. Syriges are available in luer-lock, catheter tipped, or eccentric tipped varieties. -
The Swing Sampler enables you to reach out up to 2.4m from a river bank or shore to take a 1.2L surface water sample. It can also be used for reaching into tanks, drums, or any difficult locations with up to 90 degrees rotation on the free-swinging head. The sample jar has a volume of 1.2L and can be re-used (recommended to use Decon 90 to clean between samples). The re-useable sample jar is made from landfill-biodegradable plastic, so when it eventually gets disposed to a landfill it will biodegrade. -

Well Development or Sampling The stainless steel bailer is ideal for both groundwater sampling & well development. The all stainless steel construction and check ball allows for rapid decontamination between wells. The tapered top is designed to avoid hang ups in the well, and smooth raising & lowering. A 45mm diameter enables it to be used in standard 50mm monitoring wells. Reusable equipment such as this helps reduce the amount of disposable waste, and adds sustainability to your operation. -
Biodegradable Sleeving for Sonic Rigs Now you can reduce your plastic footprint on sonic rig sampling jobs by using landfill-biodegradable HDPE sleeving. The clear sleeving has a 203mm lay-flat width, and a thickness of 150 micron. Suitable for Geoprobe, Boart Longyear, and any other sonic rigs which use 8" lay-flay sleeving. -
Soil Vapour Implants can be used for permanent or temporary installations. They can be used for soil gas sampling, air sparging, and even groundwater sampling. They are an accurate and economical way to sample soil vapour. These popular mesh implants come with a barb on top to connect to 1/4” Teflon® tubing. A threaded bottom connection allows connection to a weight to pull the implant down during installation. The implant mesh allows easy passage of the soil vapours to pass in from the target zone into the tubing. The barb allows leak free and tool-less connection of the Teflon® or other similar tubing up to the surface. A range of surface connection fittings are available to provide flexibility to various connection methods at the surface. Installation involves drilling or augering a hole down to the target zone, placing in an implant with connected tubing. Then backfilling around the implant with sand and gravel pack across the target zone. Finally filling back in with soil and or bentonite to make a seal from the surface. The top end of the tubing is where the soil vapour sample is drawn from. When not in use keep this capped.Do I need a weight? Due to the coiled Teflon® tubing acting like a spring, it can bind on the sides of the bore. For shallow installations of a few metres, a weight may not be necessary. For deeper installations a weight is recommended to pull the implant down to the bottom.

Low Cost, No Purge Groundwater Sampler These types of samplers are fast becoming a popular method for groundwater sampling on many Australian sites. Sleeve samplers make groundwater sampling a simple, three-step operation that can be more effective than purging or low-flow sampling. The low-cost, disposable sleeve captures a core of water from any discrete interval in the screened portion of the well with no change in water level and minimal disturbance to the water column. The sleeve is sealed except during sample collection, then re-seals itself, assuring that a formation quality sample is recovered. The tripod stand option provides a convenient place to hang a full sampler while filling sample bottles. Independent laboratory testing confirms that sleeve samplers are PFC/PFAS-free, based on analysis for 28 different PFCs at extremely low detection limits. -
