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. -
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* -
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

Trim your casing below ground level safely and easily These new internal pipe cutters have an ingenious design to ensure a safe, easy, and clean cut without any PVC shavings falling into your monitoring well. The IPC50 and IPC100 are an ingenious design of internal pipe cutter. It uses a replaceable cutting wheel blade to give a clean cut without any shavings. As you tighten the handle and rotate, the cutting wheel pushes against the inside of the casing and cutting cleanly through. The replaceable cutting wheel pushes against the casing from the inside out, and is tightened with each rotation to give a clean and precise cut. Available in sizes to suit 50mm and 100mm casing. -
Screen and Casing Bore Pipe for Monitoring Well Installations Cut your costs for well installation and operate more sustainably on site. Each pair of 3m lengths of pipe is sleeved in biodegradable plastic, which means the sleeve will biodegrade away when disposed to a landfill, allowing you to help reduce the amount of plastic waste build-up. Most environmental screen and casing is wrapped in conventional plastic but this is adding to our plastic waste problem. The FieldTech Solutions Wellscreen is wrapped in biodegradable plastic preventing further plastic waste. We also use biodegradable packing tape in our shipments. 50mm casing and screen is made from uPVC and to class 18 size and is manufactured following the Australian Standard for Monitoring Wells. Each piece has a coarse male/female thread for easy field assembly and is o’ring sealed. Our biodegradable plastic wrapping:- Will only biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill
- Does not require high oxygen or temperature to biodegrade such as in a commercial compost
- Helps you to operate more sustainably
