Solinst 403 CMT Multi-Level Well Systems
- Inexpensive Lower cost than multiple wells
- Two Systems Available Seven channel system (up to 7 depth discrete zone) and three channel system (up to 3 depth discrete zones)
- Easy to Install. Install using any drilling method - including direct push Seven channel system can be installed in less than 3 hours by two people. The three channel system can be installed even faster.
Overview
The 403 CMT Multilevel Well and Groundwater Monitoring System allows detailed discrete zone groundwater data to be obtained. Monitor up to 7 zones in one 1.7" well, or 3 in the narrow 1.1" (28 mm) Multilevel Well System.
The 403 CMT Multilevel monitoring well system is inexpensive, easy to install and most importantly reliable. It provides the user with a clear understanding of three dimensional groundwater flow and the distribution of contaminants in the subsurface. This allows remediation strategies to be targeted more precisely, and efforts being focused in the most effective manner. With use of the CMT Multi-level Well System, the monitoring of contaminant plumes is affordable. The system provides detailed vertical and horizontal data. The monitoring zones can be set as needed, with the single tube design permitting reliable seals between zones.
There are two multilevel monitoring well systems available. The 3 Channel Multilevel System, which was developed for smaller diameter installations, has 28mm (1.1”) polyethylene tubing. The 7 Channel Multi-level System has 43mm (1.7”) tubing, segmented into seven channels, allowing groundwater monitoring at up to 7 depth discrete zones.

FAQ's
How many zones do you wish to monitor?
- If you wish to monitor more than 3 zones then the 7 channel CMT is the system for you
- For 3 zones or less, you can consider the 3 channel CMT, or 7 channel using 2 channels per monitoring zone
What is the type, total depth and diameter of the borehole?
- The borehole must be over 3.25” in diameter for use of the CMT, but less than 3.5” for the 3 channel CMT to seal successfully
- Larger boreholes of up to 6” diameter are preferable when placing sand, bentonite or grout to complete 3 channel or 7 channel installations, ensuring plenty of room toplace the materials around the CMT.
- Centralizers are recommended to prevent the tubing from touching the side of the borehole wall, causing gaps and bridging, which will prevent a proper seal forming
What are you monitoring for?
- If VOCs are the main concern, the Model 408M is the best sampling option due to minimal disturbance of the water column.
- For water level measurement, the Model 102 Water Level Meter with a P4 probe is ideal.
What is the depth to water if you are collecting samples for analysis?
- If the depth is over 25 ft then three sampling options are available: 410 Peristaltic Pump, Mini Inertial Pump and 408M Micro Double Valve Pump.
- Once depth is over 50 ft, the Mini Inertial requires PTFE tubing.
- With depths from 100 ft to 200 ft, the Model 408M is the recommended method for sampling.
How many installations are you considering?
- Total up the depth of each installation to calculate the length of tubing needed
- The 7 Channel is available in 100 ft, 200 ft and 300 ft coils, while the 3 Channel is provided in 100 ft, 200 ft and 500 ft coils.
- If installations are being installed progressively on the same site then only one set of installation tools are required
- A Model 103 Tag Line can be used to confirm that sand and seals have the correct thickness and depth during each installation
