The Spill Buddy Pro is a combination of a manually operated product pump and an interface probe. This system is used to measure the "depth-to-product" and "depth-to-water" in test wells. The integrated measuring tape and audible feedback allows the user to determine the thickness of the product layer. 

Using either system, the operator can pump the product from the well by activating a small switch located on the reel assembly. Pumped product is discharged through a hose on the back side of the reel assembly, into a collection container.

Use of the Spill Buddy and Spill Buddy Pro systems is very cost effective, when compared to the traditional method of product recovery from groundwater monitoring wells. Traditionally, product has been recovered by using a hand-bailing device. This requires the collection of groundwater in addition to the product. The contaminated water  is then treated as hazardous waste and must be disposed of accordingly. Hand-bailing is also very time consuming. Use of the Spill Buddy and Spill Buddy Pro to remove free phase contamination from groundwater monitoring wells is quick and easy.
