Inertial sampling valves

Inertial sampling valves provide a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for groundwater monitoring and sampling. Designed for use in wells and boreholes, these one-way foot valves enable efficient groundwater collection using inertial lift sampling techniques, making them ideal for routine environmental monitoring and site investigations.

Suitable for a wide range of well diameters and sampling depths, inertial sampling systems offer a practical alternative where low-flow sampling is not required.

Simple & Effective Groundwater Sampling

Inertial sampling works by attaching a one-way foot valve to flexible sample tubing. By manually oscillating the tubing or using a powered actuator, such as the Waterra PP1, groundwater is lifted to the surface for collection.

This proven sampling method is particularly effective in turbid groundwater conditions and provides a straightforward solution for environmental consultants and groundwater professionals.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, Flux Enviro foot valves are designed to withstand demanding field conditions while providing long service life. Their robust construction eliminates the risk of damage during normal operation and allows for repeated use in challenging environments.

Foot valves can be used as portable sampling equipment, with appropriate decontamination between monitoring locations, or permanently installed as dedicated groundwater sampling systems.
