Don't Take Our Word For It!

In study after study the HydraSleeve outperforms other methods of sampling technology, beating them in accuracy, cost, simplicity, ease of use, and energy efficiency.

Converting to a passive sampling method (HydraSleeve™) from conventional methods could produce cost savings of up to $9 million over 20 year period

58% Reduction in CO2
99.8% Reduction in Wastewater

Use of no-purge sampling device has made sampling safer

Use of no-purge sampling device has made it safer for technicians to collect the necessary samples with no impact to the quality of the data.
In addition, an increased concern for safety does not have to lead to an increase in cost.

The HydraSleeve is very quick and easy to use

The use of the HydraSleeve following a standard procedure should produce highly accurate and reproducible data at both clean and contaminated water sites.
The HydraSleeve should be seriously considered for use on all future groundwater sampling projects where appropriate.

Saving Time and Money

"HydraSleeves reduce cost as there is no expensive equipment used, virtually no waste is generated and the technicians can collect a sample in less than half the time of low-flow techniques."

The HydraSleeve...typically produced the best results

"The HydraSleeve was substantially less expensive"

"The HydraSleeve was simpler to deploy and retrieve, and permits a larger volume of water to be collected."

Zero-purge sampling offers a number of distinct advantages

The method does not require an electric power source and submersible pumps.
Less labor is required relative to conventional methods. Zero-purge sampling, requires approximately 20 minutes per well as compared to approximately 45 minutes per well for low-flow sampling.

VOC results for samples collected using zero-purge techniques were higher

On average, zero-purge total metals results exceed the corresponding low-flow dissolved metals results by 108%.
On average, the zero-purge dissolved metals results were 19% higher than the corresponding results for samples collected via low-flow methods.
