Some Things About Well Plugs

By Mathew Engelking


Well plugs are used for closing and protecting monitoring wells. They are designed to provide watertight, temper proof fit. Some are made from recycled materials, like composite glass filled polymers, and they are Eco friendly. Others are made from plastic and other durable materials, but all are usually brightly colored and dependable.

Plugs need to have locking mechanisms on, to protect and secure those monitoring wells. High quality ones allow securing plugs in different positions, making them easy accessible. Resistance to all kinds of chemicals and high durability is very important for this type of products, because they need to provide high level of protection and withstand different temperatures and frequent use.

Bailers are mainly used for checking the water quality. You need to take samples of water from your well occasionally, and using bailers makes this job very simple. It is important to avoid making turbidity when taking those samples, in order of getting highly accurate results. That's why you should easily lower the bailer down to the water surface. It should never fall down to the bottom, to avoid disturbing the sediment.

When the bailer is filled at desired depth, pull it out very slowly and carefully, to avoid turbidity. This way you will get very accurate water samples quickly and easily every single time. There are different models available, and you should choose among them depending on your needs. Bailers are usually used with long, transparent tubes.

When you need to take the sample of the soil, you can use the soil sampling equipment. It can be very simple, or professional, and which one you should use depend on your particular needs. Some industries use automated equipment for taking numerous samples from different depths, and this type of equipment can be attached to various agricultural machines. Some government agencies also use this type of products.

Soil testing equipment also has its purpose in every garden. It provides the sample of soil from the desired depth, and thanks to the fact that it is in continuous core, you will get accurate information about the level of different nutrients in it. This way you can easily calculate the amount of nutrients your garden needs and significantly improve the quality of the soil.

All these equipment is very useful for checking the quality of water and soil for many different purposes. Using quality well plugs for protecting and securing your monitoring wells is essential for proper maintenance. Choose dependable manufacturers and proven products only for all well drilling and environmental industry's needs.
