  • Simply the best way to manage tubing for low-flow groundwater sampling

    • The Rapid Reel is a simple cardboard tubing dispenser for our biodegradable tubing for low-flow sampling
    • Low-flow sampling has just been made easier
    • Simply connect the tubing to your sampling pump then deploy down the well, letting the tubing flow easily out of the Rapid Reel box
    • Clean and simple
    Testimonials:

    "I used the rapid reel last time I was groundwater sampling and thought it was great. Made life so much easier, especially on the deep wells." (Samantha Walsh - Landserv)

    “I have to say, when I saw the rapid reel on your website, memories sprung to mind of countless times spent fighting soggy cardboard reels and unruly tubing. The Rapid Reel did live up to my expectations. It definitely helped keep my ute/workspace tidier, and it was quicker and easier to reel out the quantity I needed." (Anonymous - Ventia)
  • Is sampling groundwater responsibly important to your business? ...then switch to 'BioTubing'. Our landfill-biodegradable tubing helps minimise plastic waste build-up in our landfills. BioTubing is made from landfill-biodegradable* LDPE (low density polyethylene) or HDPE (high density polyethylene), and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. It does not require high oxygen or temperature to biodegrade such as in a commercial compost. BioTubing enables you to achieve high sampling integrity plus operate more sustainably. Bonded Tubing for Low-Flow Sampling Our bonded tubing has the 1/4″ and 3/8″ tubes bonded together with a thin bridge and conveniently packaged on a 100m spool. The air and water lines have been bonded during the extrusion (manufacturing) process, and can be separated easily in the field to connect to a pump and controller fittings. It is recommended to scrape the bonding bridge clean with a knife to ensure a perfect seal. Many people prefer using bonded tubing as it can simplify pump deplyment and handling, and it can reduce the possibility of getting pumps stuck. The easiest way to manage your bonded tubing during pump depolyment, sampling, and storage, is by using the Rapid Reel tubing dispenser. Ultra-Clean BioTubing Our BioTubing has been independently tested for any leaching of 58 VOCs and 101 SVOCs.  The VOCs were tested using USEPA 8260B process and the semi VOCs via USEPA 8270. After tumbling for 18 hours the tubing showed 'non detect' on all the compounds analysed for. These compounds included Phthalates and PAHs. Data available on request. Waste Plastic Facts
    • In Australia alone over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is disposed of each year, approximately 30 million tons in the USA, and about 5 million tons in the UK
    • Unfortunately most of this goes to landfill with only a small percentage being recycled
    • The use of plastic in western Europe and Australia is growing by about 4% each year
    • Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose
    • Nearly every piece of plastic ever made still exists today
    • By using BioTubing and other landfill-biodegradable products you are helping to reduce the amount of plastic waste build-up in our landfills
    *Biodegradation has been verified by independent laboratory using ASTM D5511 for anaerobic landfill conditions. Independent laboratory testing confirms that our BioTubing is PFC/PFAS-free, based on analysis for 28 different PFCs at extremely low detection limits. For sampling on PFAS sites HDPE tubing is often prefered. HDPE tubing is available in 1/4", 3/8", and 5/8" OD sizes. Click the 'Ordering Information' tab to see all available options for BioTubing.

  • The BioBailerTM is a quick and easy way to sample groundwater. Simply lower the bailer into your well and it fills with water as it submerses. When you pull up to retrieve the bailer the check-valve closes, trapping approximately 1L of water inside. BioBailersTM are made from landfill-biodegradable* PVC, and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. They do not require high oxygen or temperature to biodegrade such as in a commercial compost. Achieve the same groundwater sampling integrity as non-biodegradable bailers but more responsibly.
    Need to sample LNAPL / PSH? The easiest and most cost effective way is with the Hydrocarbon only or HC BioBailers. HC BioBailersTM allow you to collect floating LNAPL / PSH from a well, without collecting water. The ball valve is denser than LNAPL but lighter than water so it pushes water out of the bailer while keeping the LNAPL. These bailers also have a wider mouth than regular bailers, allowing you to collect more LNAPL with each bail. Like all BiobailersTM they are landfill-biodegradable.
  • The AquaPore inline filter is the world's first biodegradable filter capsule. Having the same special patented additive as all our other landfill biodegradable products, the AquaPore filter is a disposable plastic filter which will biodegrade when discarded to a landfill. It is especially convenient when used with low-flow groundwater sampling but can also easily be used with a bailer, or with a filter flask for surface water filtering. All AquaPore filters now come with a threaded barb adapter to allow easy connection to your low-flow discharge line (3/8" OD). The AquaPore 800 biodegradable filter has a huge 800cm2 capacity to handle water with high turbidity, while the AquaPore 500 has a 500cm2 capacity for medium turbidity. Both filters have the same proprietary additive we use in our other biodegradable products to make them landfill biodegradable. It has been designed specifically for the preparation of groundwater samples for dissolved metals analysis and for filtering large volumes of turbid groundwater. The AquaPore filter has been lab tested and rinsate verified for 66 trace elements complying with ANZECC recommendations.
  • Low-Flow Sampling has been the preferred method of choice for many years now in Australia for groundwater sampling. Now you can use disposable bladders responsibly by choosing our landfill biodegradable bladders. Fieldtech Solutions has developed landfill-biodegradable concertina style bladders, and also tube style bladders for 2 of the most popular low-flow groundwater sampling pumps. These bladders have the same biodegradable additive as our other disposable sampling products so that they will biodegrade once disposed to a landfill. *Concertina style bladders now also available in HDPE*
  • The QED Soil Hydrocarbon Analyser is a total organic hydrocarbon in soil and groundwater analyser that can accurately analyse both soil samples and water samples on site. Suitable for direct on-site detection and analysis, it can be synchronized with the on-site investigation and sampling team or in the field. During excavation or in the early stage of pollution, quickly determine the source of gasoline (GRO) or diesel (DRO) or other oil pollution. The QED Hydrocarbon Analyser can reliably identify petroleum hydrocarbon in the sample, as it uses the same solid state micro-spectrometers used by NASA to provide unrivalled accuracy in identifying petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs. The QED Soil Hydrocarbon Analyser can also solve the error of interfering substances caused by natural plant corruption in current laboratory analysis methods. The QED Soil Hydrocarbon Analyzer can reduce the laboratory analysis costs and provide a faster and more convenient quick screening qualitative and quantitative method on site.

  • 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.
  • Disposable Bailer Cord Our disposable bailer cord is mainly used to deploy bailers and sleeve samplers. Made from polypropylene, it is well suitable for all types of ground water sampling. The 2.5mm diameter twine is packaged in a convenient 100m spool and also made in Australia. It has a manufacturers stated break load of approximately 195kg, so can be used for a range of applications.
