Each ground-water sampling situation must be carefully considered before making a decision to use a bailer or pump, and the following chart may be of some use in making that decision. Remember that the skill and experience of the operator is of great importance in obtaining a representative sample of the ground water, but choice of the sampling method is also important, and can make a big difference in the eventual cost of your sampling project. Consult your local environmental equipment agent for specifications, costs, or other information regarding bailers and pumps, and be sure to consult their resident experts for their advice.
