ABSTRACT:
A groundwater sampling and pumping device and system for withdrawing groundwater from a well. The device includes a hollow outer housing having water inlet ports formed through a bottom thereof and a hollow inner housing sized to be positioned coaxially within the outer housing and defining a water flow passage therebetween, the respective bottoms being spaced to define a lower portion of the water passage whereby water ports are in fluid communication with the water passage. An electric motor in the inner housing is connected to a water impeller operably positioned between the bottoms to draw groundwater into the water passage. A motor module cap establishes sealed connection to the electrical conduit passing longitudinally to the electrical input terminals of the motor while an output cap is sealingly removably engaged to the open end of the outer housing and includes an aperture for sealingly passing the electrical conduit longitudinally therethrough and a water outlet port for discharging water from the well upwardly therefrom. The water passing upwardly through the water flow passage provides cooling for the motor.
