The design uses 2nd and 3rd check ball valves, along with patented "sand catchers" that trap sand and silt that could otherwise prevent the ball valves from seating properly. The new bailer design also helps to reduce the hydrostatic pressure, which prevents obstructions from wedging against the check ball valves during the bailer retrieval process.Clearwater EngineeringClearwater, FLTel: 800-554-0123Web: www.clearwatereng.com

This engineering advancement increases the performance of the SSR, especially when used in industrial environments. The surge survival system features a more rugged, internal snubber circuit to attenuate most industrial noise; a high noise immunity circuit and fast turn-on. By using a new, fast responding circuit, the SV can survive a high energy, non-repetitive power line surge and then continue operating normally.Continental Industries Corp.Leesburg, VATel: 630-527-2408Web: www.ciicontrols.comFlow monitoringThe Model 4120 flow-captor "metering flow switch" from Weber Sensors is a solid-state, flow monitoring device with no moving parts. The LED display shows flow rate as a percent of range (adjustable from 20 cm/s to 3 m/s) and a flashing LED indicates the set point (also field adjustable). A range adjustment label also enables gpm flow rate calculation.Weber Sensors Inc.Woodstock, GATel: 770-592-6630Web: www.captor.com
