At the invitation of scientists at USGS, a Wellntel system was deployed alongside redundant in-water level sensors in a monitoring well and gathered groundwater level data during pumping tests to evaluate groundwater availability. The result: a compelling argument for Wellntel as a dependably accurate instrument that can engage stakeholders with shared facts, in near realtime.Continue reading “Wellntel System Impresses in USGS Pump Test”

Very Shallow or Very Deep Water
Wellntel will work on wells as deep as 1600 feet, but the Factory Default Settings are designed for a range of water depths that are commonplace around the world: between about 50 and 600 feet to water. If you are aware that your well is shallower or deeper than that, take a minute to enterContinue reading “Very Shallow or Very Deep Water”
A Sounding Tube is in the Well
Wellntel can be configured to work through common sounding tubes, and indeed, they are usually a solution to other conditions. But sounding tubes themselves may require special calibrations and hardware adaptations. It is important to make sure that sounding tubes are well vented and are as large as possible. A factory technician may also suggestContinue reading “A Sounding Tube is in the Well”
Variable Frequency Drive runs the Pump
Sometimes the presence of a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) can create noise conditions in the wall that interfere with Wellntel’s signal. In some rare cases, a VFD can create a pattern of mixed results. First, make sure to install the PPK included in your +Pump Wellntel Kit. Second, a Wellntel technician may recommend higher or lowerContinue reading “Variable Frequency Drive runs the Pump”
Milled Slot in Casing Pipe
Where there is “milled slot” or a perforated casing seeping gravel or sand, caverns can form outside of the casing. These structures can attenuate or degrade signals. How can you tell? Your well construction report will tell you, and if you’re not sure how to read it, feel free to forward a copy to ourContinue reading “Milled Slot in Casing Pipe”
Dry Cavern in a Fractured Rock Well
Where there are dry caverns or harsh fractured rock, it is best to mount Wellntel on an access port fitted to a sounding tube. In this case, the sounding tube contains the signal and enables successful readings. Wellntel recommends a sounding tube be installed by a qualified well servicer as a matter of practice inContinue reading “Dry Cavern in a Fractured Rock Well”
