Presently available suction and free drainage soil‐pore liquid (SPL) samplers were compared with two new SPL sampler designs for use in unsaturated zone monitoring programs. Comparisons and recommendations for appropriate SPL monitoring equipment were based on factors that influence sample quality. These factors are:• The nature of the matrix being sampled • The nature of the constituent being monitored • Seasonal and site managerial influences on water movement • Site condition influence on available options for installation of monitoring equipment.
