Shipping, Delivery, Order Processing & Product Availability
Fondriest uses the best carriers to make sure orders get to you on time. Learn more about shipping times, methods, costs, and carriers.
Delivery Time
Shortly after you place your order, you will receive an Order Acknowledgement email to confirm your order details, including shipping and a delivery estimate. Once your order has been prepared for shipment and shipped, you will receive a Shipment Notification email with the carrier and tracking information.
Shipping and Delivery Estimates
The 'Ships' timeframe is an estimate of when the item will ship from our warehouse. All items will ship at one time unless you specifically request a partial shipment. In which case, the items on your order will ship as they become available.
The ‘Delivers’ timeframe is an estimate of when the item will be delivered. The estimated delivery time depends on the shipping method you choose during checkout. All estimates are based on business days.
Shipping Options
Fondriest offers several convenient shipping options via UPS.
| Ground Shipping: | Products shipped via ground service are typically delivered within five business days after shipment. |
| 2-Day Shipping: | For an additional charge, Fondriest offers 2-day shipping for most products. Products shipped via two-day service prior to 4:00 p.m. EST are usually delivered by 7:00 p.m. local time two business days after shipment. |
| Overnight Delivery: | For an additional charge, Fondriest offers overnight shipping for most products. Products shipped via overnight service prior to 4:00 p.m. EST are normally delivered by 7:00 p.m. local time one business day after shipment. Earlier overnight delivery options may also be available, depending on the destination. |
| Your Account: | For no additional charge, Fondriest can ship on third-party customer accounts via UPS and FedEx. Note that FedEx Ground shipments are picked up the following business day, and Express shipments must be made before 1:00 p.m. EST to ensure same-day pick-up. |
Remember that these estimates are for time in transit only and that they do not apply until the product leaves the Fondriest warehouse. As the delivery of your order is beyond Fondriest’s control once your order leaves the Fondriest warehouse, we cannot assume liability for late deliveries, regardless of the delivery method you specify.
Signature Required on Most Deliveries
Most of Fondriest’s shipments contain valuable equipment. If you will not be at the shipping address to accept delivery of your product, consider shipping the item to an address where someone you trust will be available to sign for your package, or accept your package if a signature is not required for the delivery.
Once your order has prepared for shipment or has shipped, we are unable to change the shipping address. Title and risk of loss to all products will pass to you on delivery. If you are willing to assume the risks of delivering your order without a signature, you may authorize Fondriest to arrange for a delivery that does not require anyone to be at the delivery address.
Undeliverable Packages
Occasionally, packages are returned to Fondriest as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to Fondriest, please contact us to make arrangements for reshipment.
Failed Delivery Attempts
Most of Fondriest carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. After three delivery attempts, the carrier will return the package to Fondriest.
Order Processing
The estimated shipment date on your order is based on product availability, payment processing time, and warehouse processing time and does not include transit time. We do not begin payment processing until Fondriest receives all of the information that is needed and full payment or a full authorization, in the case of credit card or rental orders.
Fondriest will begin payment processing for orders placed on weekends or holidays on the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
Your order for in-stock items that are eligible for same-day shipping must be received before your local time of 2:00 p.m., pending payment processing, for there to be adequate remaining time in the day for your order to be dispatched.
Product Availability
Fondriest makes every effort to ship your product according to the estimated lead times. The estimated lead times are in business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays). Although Fondriest makes every effort to ship your order according to the lead time provided, shipping dates may change due to changes in supply. If the lead time changes, Fondriest will contact you via email and provide a revised shipping estimate.
Fondriest makes every effort to supply the products you order, but there may be occasions when Fondriest confirms orders and later learns that it cannot supply the products, either at all or in the quantities ordered. Although rare, these occasions can include when Fondriest learns that the products are no longer being manufactured or they otherwise become unavailable, when Fondriest cannot source components for the configuration you ordered, or when there was a pricing error at the Fondriest Online Store.
In those circumstances, Fondriest will inform you and, if you are interested, Fondriest may suggest alternative products that may meet your needs. If you do not wish to order alternative products, Fondriest will cancel your order for products that cannot be supplied and for any other products that you no longer wish to order as a result, and will issue a refund.

Returns without an RMA will not be accepted.
Items returned for credit must be new, unused, and in the original packaging (including any accessories, manuals, and documentation that shipped with the product). Returned items must be received by Fondriest Environmental within 14 calendar days of the issuance of the RMA.

- Can be used for permanent well points or short-term monitoring applications
Overview
The Solinst Model 615 Drive-Point Piezometer uses a high quality stainless steel piezometer tip, 3/4" NPT pipe for drive extensions and LDPE or Teflon sample tubing, if desired. Combine these with an inexpensive Slide Hammer and you have a complete system.
Design
The Solinst Model 615 Drive-Point Piezometer has a stainless steel, 50 mesh cylindrical filter-screen, within a 3/4" (20 mm) stainless steel drive-point body, screen support and a barbed fitting for attachment of sample tubing. Optional heavy-duty extension couplings are also available to create a strengthened and more rugged piezometer.
The inner barbed fitting allows connection of 5/8" OD x 1/2" ID (16 mm x 12 mm) LDPE or Teflon sample tubing. This prevents sample water from contacting the steel extension rods, and maintains high sample integrity, even when inexpensive carbon steel extensions are used.
Questions & Answers
What is a barb?
The tubing barb connects 5/8" OD x 1/2" ID (16 mm x 12 mm) LDPE or Teflon sample tubing to the piezometer. This barbed fitting prevents sample water from coming in contact with the extension rods in order to maintain sample integrity. Piezometers without a tubing barb such as the 615N and 615NS are designed for use with water level meters.
What is the diameter of the piezometer?
All Solinst 615 Drive-point Piezometers are 3/4" in diameter with a 1" diameter tip. The shielded version includes an replaceable 1.5" diameter shield.
Is the Solinst piezometer reusable?
While the 615 Drive-Point Piezometers are commonly installed as permanent well points, they are reusable. However, if a shielded version (615S or 615SN) is used, the shield portion is single-use only and replacements are available.
What is the length of the piezometer? Is there a maximum depth restriction?
Piezometers are not suitable for all soil types, so the depth limitation will vary. The maximum depth penetration of the 615 piezometer will depend on the soil conditions, shield use and drive method used (slide hammer or drill). The piezometer itself is 6 inches long.

New map shows significant groundwater depletion in Central California
Groundwater level data collected by a Central California county shows significant drops during the past 12 years, according to a San Luis Obispo Tribune article. Data shows that groundwater has dropped by a minimum of 70 feet from 1997 to 2009 in the Paso Robles area of Central California. In the past four years the areas of most significant decline have expanded north and south. Drought and agricultural withdrawals are the likely culprits for the groundwater decline. Some advocates are calling for more responsible water use by vineyards in the area, while farmers note that the recent drought did not help the situation.
The Great Miami River: Overcoming the Past and Protecting the Future
In March of 1913, rain began falling heavily on the Great Miami River Watershed in Southwest Ohio, descending over a region still saturated from a hard winter. Nearly a foot fell over three days, causing a surge of water through the Miami Valley equivalent to the discharge of Niagara Falls over 30 days. The flooding was catastrophic, leading to hundreds of deaths and over $2 billion in damages in today's economy. Across 10 cities, it swept away bridges, tore down telephone wires, and ignited fires that consumed whole blocks. In the wake of the catastrophe, and despite the unfathomable loss, the residents of the Miami Valley banded together to find a solution.
At the Crossroads of the World: Monitoring Marine Impacts of LNG in Panama
Panama has made its name as a crossroads of the world. Each year, an estimated 13,000-14,000 ships use the eponymous canal, which connects maritime trade between the world’s two biggest oceans, along routes that span some 170 countries. Two of Panama’s largest cities sit at either end of the canal–the capital, Panama City, where it meets the Pacific, and Colón, where it meets the Atlantic. Perched on the Atlantic coast, near the entrance to the Panama Canal in Colón Province, is the AES Colón Natural Gas Power Plant. Opened in 2018, it is the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) power plant in Panama–and Central America. The site has a total combined capacity of 350 MW, and also houses a 180,000m³ LNG storage tank.
