Groundwater sampling contamination
An alternative to low flow groundwater sampling

MULTI-LEVEL GROUNDWATER SAMPLING

This application is met by two systems: The Water FLUTe system and the Mini FLUTe system.

The Water FLUTe system (1-20 ports) is for deeper applications in stable holes (e.g., core holes in fractured rock or multi screened casing in unstable media). For more information on the Water FLUTe system, go to Methods (ground water sampling) or to Water FLUTe system. Water FLUTe installation procedures can be viewed or downloaded. Water FLUTe sampling procedures are also available. Hole diameters range from 3 inches to 12 inches, or greater.

Sampling groundwater The Water FLUTe system is:

  • Quickly installed,
  • Seals the entire hole,
  • Easy to sample, and
  • Removable.

The sampling volumes are especially large per pump stroke because of the unique Water FLUTe design. The system geometry is shown in Water FLUTe systems.

The Water FLUTe system is the most popular FLUTe system. Water FLUTe use is described in Water FLUTe users. The prices for Water FLUTe are provided as a function of number of ports and hole depth at Water FLUTe prices. Powerpoint presentations on the Water FLUTe system can be mailed to you. Contact us at info@flut.com to request our Powerpoint presentations.

The Mini FLUTe system (1-3 ports) is installed through the interior of cone penetrometer rods or Geoprobe rods in unstable sediments.

This system is: Taking groundwater pollution samples.

  • Quick to install
  • Well sealed in the formation by the pressurized liner,
  • Easy to sample, and
  • Removable.

The method is described under Mini FLUTe method. A detailed description is provided at Mini FLUTe system. Prices are available at Mini FLUTe prices. The patented liner installation technique is the same as that frequently used for the NAPL FLUTe color reactive liner.
