High and Low Density Polyethylene Tubing

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). High Density Tubing provides the best performance in deeper monitoring wells because of it's rigidity

High Density Polyethylene also provides a stronger valve-tubing connection, especially with the male threaded valves, because it is stiffer and gives less when the valve is threaded into the tubing. The rigidity of this material produces better flow rates and spans. In addition, this tube will stretch much less than the LDPE in deeper control wells, making it more efficient. High-density polyethylene also provides a stronger connection between the valve tube, especially with male threaded valves, because it is more rigid and gives less when the valve is threaded into the tube.

FEATURES

• Produced from virgin polyethylene resins
• Waterra does not use any regrind product in any of our tubing
• Does not contain any UV stabilizers*
• Coils of tubing are individually poly bagged and are stored in sealed boxes, protected from UV light sources
• Waterra Foot Valves are guaranteed to properly fit onto and into Waterra tubing.

*Leaving non UV protected polyethylene tubing exposed to sunlight or a UV light source will result in the material becoming brittle. The material will then fracture very easily. Keep the tubing protected from these light sources until you're ready to install it in your well and it will last for may years.

 Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE)

Low Density Tubing is the most popular tubing choice for use in shallow monitoring wells. LDPE tubing is more flexible than HDPE and is less likely to develop a kink. The difference in rigidity between LDPE and HDPE does not have a significant impact on the performance of the inertial pump in shallow wells. LDPE tubing is also recommended for use with the Proactive line of 12 volt submersible pumps.
