Waterra Foot Valves

The Waterra Inertial Pump was designed from the onset to meet four goals: simplicity, performance and quality sample collection in a package affordable enough to dedicate to every well. Waterra found that by eliminating complex and over-engineered components like bladders, pistons and submersible motors that a low cost, easy to operate pump could be produced.

The final product consists only of a foot valve and a length of plastic tubing that when oscillated up and down in the well, by the Waterra Powerpack, produces a flow of water. Our clients have found that our simple, reliable and versatile sampling system excels in performance, yet is easily affordable. In the field, Waterra has always performed beyond the expectations of such a simple design.

Why use Waterra Foot Valves? Consider the following:

1. Dedicated sampling systems are regarded by groundwater professionals to provide better quality and more representative samples at a dramatically reduced cost. Waterra pumps cost little more than bailers to dedicate, yet equal or exceed far more costly pumps in performance.
2. Installing dedicated pumps to all your wells eliminates costly field blanks, lowers the risk and associated costs of cross contamination and reduces labour expenses.
3. The Waterra Inertial System offers dedicated installations at a price comparable to that of bailers, but with superior performance and flexibility. Waterra further extends system range and capabilities by providing reliable and easy to use manual, electric or petrol powered actuators.
