Sales Index

Bennett Sample Pumps have automatic reciprocating piston motors, operated by compressed air, that generates power for operating a double acting, piston fluid pump.

High Lifts
Models for lifts up to 170meters (500ft) have one motor piston; Models for lifts up to 330meters (1000ft) have two motor pistons, providing increased power for operating the pump. All models have a differential ratio between the motor pistons and the pump to accomplish lifts using low pressure air from small compressors.  Bennett Pumps may be operated in any position from horizontal to vertical. These pumps will operate submerged to great depths or above water with a drop tube attached to the fluid inlet.

Portable or Dedicated Options

Dedicated Option
A dedicated well system consists of a Bennett Sample Pump, a tube bundle (made to required length), a well casing cap and tube bundle retaining plug. Tube bundles are shipped on wooden spools with all fittings included for easy installation.

Portable Option
Bennett Sample pumps may be used as portable units, capable of sampling multiple boreholes, or used in dedicated well systems. They are constructed to permit easy dis-assembly in the field for cleaning and replacement of pump seals and valves, using ordinary tools. Repair kits containing all parts for re-conditioning the pump are available. Pump body and piston rod are made of stainless steel.


Portable Reel System
A pump unit for applications where portability is required. Each consists of a Bennett Pump, a tube bundle (choice of length and materials) and a tube bundle reel. The reel is equipped with all controls for operating the pump. The portable units are completely assembled, tested and shipped ready for use.

  • Tube Bundle Construction - stainless steel cable core polypropylene air supply and air exhaust tubes, choice of materials for water discharge tube, electric chord for water level indicator, nylon wire ties to hold bundle together (PVC tape wrap optional).
  • Water Level Indicator System - A sonar alarm sounds when the probe installed in pump head touches water. System is powered by a 6 volt battery inside console.
  • Rotary Swivel - Installed on reel axle, eliminates disconnecting lines when setting pump.
  • Flow meter - Monitors pump discharge rate .75 to 7.5 litres per minute.
  • Air Pressure Regulator & Gauge - Adjustable for controlling pump discharge.
  • Hand Brake - Controls lowering speed into borehole.
  • Reel Drive - Sprocket and chain drive with reduction ratio for hand crank operation. Power drive system available for larger reels.
  • Reel Lock - Holds pump in fixed position in borehole.
  • Roller Head - Guides tube bundle into borehole.
  • Tube Bundle Measuring System - A mechanical counter attached to the measuring wheel reads in feet and tenths.
