WELLOG WATER SAMPLING

WHY SAMPLE WELL WATER?
Well water may contain
contamination in many different forms.
Obtaining a sample of well water at the source in the well can be a valuable
aid in determining the source of unwanted contamination. It is possible that
water is entering the well from more than one source. Multiple samples taken at different depths in
the well can help identify the source of contamination.
HOW IS SAMPLING CONDUCTED?
WELLOG
uses a stainless steel water sampling tool designed for water sampling
purposes. The tool is designed to
collect a one liter water sample. The
sampling tool is connected to a wireline cable and lowered to the desired depth
in the well. The sampling tool has a port that is opened by a command from the
surface. After a predetermined amount of
time that is required for the sample chamber to fill, the port is closed. The water sample is sealed inside the
chamber. The tool and contained sample are raised to the surface. The sample tool is thoroughly cleaned. When
the sample chamber is opened, the water sample is poured into a sterile, sealed
water sample container. WELLOG can perform basic TDS
measurement, odor, clarity, and organic/inorganic and spectrometric tests for
certain contaminants. Follow-up tests can be
performed at a certified laboratory if required by the customer. WELLOG
will convey the sealed sample container to a laboratory for analysis and
furnish a final report to the customer.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE WATER
SAMPLING?
When the well pump is
removed for maintenance or replacement, call WELLOG. An appointment will be made to come to the
well site and perform the water sampling operation.
