Disposable Bailers & Reusable Bailers

Bailers, whether disposable or reusable, are an essential, simple tool for sampling well water. Whether the goal is sampling well water to test for contamination or purging a well, Geotechnical Services has the bailer for you. If you are purging a well, or acquiring well samples to test for gasoline, BTEX, pesticide, PCB, or solvent contamination, a water bailer will help you get the job done.

To use any of our bailers, simply lower them into your well with bailer twine. When the bailer hits the water, the check ball at the bottom of the bailer gets unseated, allowing water to flow in. When you stop the bailer’s descent and start bringing it back up to the surface, the check ball gets reseated, trapping the water inside.

Geotechnical Services offers a wide variety of reusable and disposable bailers.
