HydraSleeves can be installed using any kind of line or tether that you utilize for other groundwater sampling methods. It's not absolutely necessary to use our tether; but it does have some advantages.
Since the1-foot markings are sequential (numbered 1-2000), it can be relied upon for proper placement of HydraSleeve at specific depths in the well. Also using our clips with the flat, woven polyester tape also ensured a double-secure connection because our clips can pierce the tether and then also be secured with a knot.
HydraSleeve tether is 3/8-inch flat woven polyester.
Advantages to using HydraSleeve tether:
- The markings are easy to read
- 1250 Pound tensil strength
- Secure connection (pierce with clips and also knot)
- At just $0.10 per foot, it's very economical
- Can be used for other applications
Disadvantages
- Available in only 1 size, 2000 feet
- Can stick to the well walls in high humidity environments. Using a heavier weight will eliminate this problem.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not recommend using our tether when sampling for PFC/PFA's using the HDPE HydraSleeve. Any other kind of cable or line made of a material that is not prohibited from being on site can be used.
