The water is driven down in the pump tube and up through the second check valve to the surface via the sample tube. The purge stroke (approximately 1 gal. of water) is complete when gas is expelled from the sample tube following the water flow. The pressure in the system must then be vented to allow the pump tube to refill. The recharge flow from the port tube consists of the port tube water, the water in the pore space of the spacer, and water from the medium. Because of the relatively large volume in the pump tube, most of the recharge is from the medium.     <\/p>\n<p>Purging the pump tube a second time will remove any of the water that has resided in the spacer and port tube volume. That is highly recommended, since the water resident in the tubing and spacer is probably not typical of the formation water. If the refill has been prompt, the second purge water volume will be similar to the first stroke. Two more purge strokes, for a total of four purge strokes, are recommended to remove water that may have been in long contact with the liner or spacer.   <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3676f7e6-7b83-4698-94ce-2cc9fa9ae43d&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;3em||3em||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;5.

That recommended pressure is calculated in the spreadsheet provided with each system.  <\/p>\n<p>The first flow of the sampling cycle sweeps along droplets of water left in the tubing from the purge cycle. That residual water is depleted of volatile components. Tests have shown that the first tube volume of the sample flow should be discarded as depleted in volatiles (the \u201cdiscard volume\u201d is also calculated in the spreadsheet).

After sampling, if there is any leakage of the second check valve (sand in the tube, etc.) the water in the sample tube can backflow into the larger tube, adding to the water that fills the large tube during the recharge. Also, if the water level in the formation is dropping between head measurements, the water level in the pump tube will not follow the descent if the first check valve is a good seal. For these two reasons, and for the freezing concern below, it is best to finish the sampling stroke by raising the pressure to the \u201cpurge pressure\u201d value to purge the pumping system of all water. Then upon refilling, the level is the current head for each port. If head measurements are made between sampling events, each port\u2019s pumping system should first be purged one stroke to allow the tubing to refill to the current head value. Always replace the plugs in the top of the pump tubes when finished sampling.      <\/p>\n<p>If the water might freeze in the sampling tubing near the surface, purge the entire volume of water from each sampling line, after sampling, before leaving it.

Collect the purged water volume for verification of a good purge. Note the water flow time of the purge stroke (approximately 4 min.).  <\/li>\n<li>Allow the tubing to refill. Repeat the purge.

Apply the pressure and collect the first flow to measure the discard volume. Discard that water. Collect the samples.   <\/li>\n<li>Perform a final purge of the water out of the sampling lines by raising the driving pressure to the purge pressure value.<\/li>\n<li>When the sampling system has refilled, tag the water level, if desired, for the current water table.

Those are the pressures that can also be used for a simultaneous purge of the several ports. The spreadsheet flags the condition where all ports should not be purged simultaneously.

The formation water level can be measured via the \u201cpump tube\u201d for each port. The water level inside the liner should be tagged in the 1\/2 x 5\/8&#8243; tube labelled \u201cTAG\u201d adjacent to the sampling tubes. If the water level inside the liner is measured in the liner, outside the Tag Tube, lower the weighted tag line very slowly to avoid damage to the liner.
