- Tubing Reels (for portable systems).
- A Control Unit (see our ProPlus and Logic control units)
- A Pressurised Air or Gas Supply (built-in or standalone compressors)

Choose Dedicated Bladder Pumps for pumps suited to deeper applications or for longer term dedicated use

PCU Drawdown Meter
For full quality control and monitoring of low flow sampling, and to ensure the integrity of VOC sampling, the drawdown in water level during pumping should remain less than 100mm below the starting water level. The optional PCU Drawdown Level Meter connects directly into either the PCU ProPlus or PCU LOGIC pump controllers via a plug in socket.

The PCU will provide a warning if the water level in the borehole falls beyond this level during sampling.
