AquaClear® disposable bailers are built from rigid, clear PVC so you can visually inspect the sample and spot turbidity or sheen on the spot. They’re certified by an independent lab to protect sample integrity, making them a dependable choice for routine monitoring and compliance work.

Compared with polyethylene bailers, AquaClear® adds more weight and durability for a quicker, straighter drop—ideal when you’re sampling for metals or working in deeper wells.

Key features

Clear, rigid PVC body for easy visual inspection of the water column and any entrained sediment.
Lab-certified sample integrity for reliable analytical results.
Weight options: unweighted, weighted, and double-weighted to match well depth and sink-rate needs.
Valve options: single or double check valve configurations for your sampling method.
Tight manufacturing tolerances—designed to drop straight without catching on the casing.
