Page 12: Micropurge® Portable System Components
MicroPurge Controllers A controller operates the Well Wizard pumps by regulating the air flow from a compressed-gas source to the pump. The controller alternately pressurizes and vents the air supply line to the pump, allowing the pump to discharge and then fill with water. -

It’s your proof that the pump has been tested and shown to be contaminant free. If needed, you can contact QED with the serial number to obtain details on the laboratory test results. - Page 14 In general, pumps should have at least 10 feet of submergence and systems using drop tube inlets should have 25 feet of submergence over the pump. Call QED if you have any questions about submergence requirements and pump placement for your specific application.

Page 15: Installing The Bladder Pump Inlet Screen
Well Wizard bladder pumps equipped with an inlet screen carry a 10 year warranty on PTFE Teflon bladder models and a 5 year warranty on Teflon-free bladder Zero models. Well Wizard pumps installed without inlet screens are covered by a one year warranty. -
Page 16: Installing Or Replacing Pump Fittings And Connectors
The following sections describe how to install or replace the three types of connectors that may be included in your Well Wizard system. Well Wizard pump models use either stainless steel or polypropylene compression fittings or barb fittings with clamps for pump tubing connections. Please follow the appropriate instructions for the fitting type used on your pump model. -

Connect the tubing to the fitting and finger tighten. Holding the fitting body steady with a wrench, turn the nut clockwise (when viewed from the top) until you feel resistance, then tighten a quarter turn.

Page 19: Installing Pump Systems With Pre-Cut And Pre-Assembled Tubing
Installing Pump Systems with Pre-Cut & Assembled Tubing Well Wizard systems are most often supplied with the tubing cut to length for each well and connected to the bladder pump, with each pump and tubing assembly tagged with the well ID number provided. -
Page 20: Installing Pump Systems Using Bulk Tubing
Installing Pump Systems Using Bulk Tubing If your Well Wizard system was ordered with bulk tubing, it will be necessary to measure the tubing length in the field or to install the pump using tubing known to be longer than the well depth, cutting the tubing off when the pump is at the desired depth. - Page 21 To attach the well cap, separate about 8-12” (20-30 cm) of the twin-bonded tubing. Push the discharge tubing through the compression fitting on the cap to the appropriate height based on the cap design. Refer to the separate instruction sheet included with the well cap.

7. Locate the drop tube weight kit. Some systems may use more than one weight, but most use just one – refer to the Well Wizard data sheet for the correct number of weights for each well. Install the pump inlet screen on the bottom of the weight. - Page 23 If the air supply on the cap uses a compression fitting connection, push the air tubing fully into the fitting, and then tighten the nut to compress the brass ferrule and retain the tubing. 17. QED recommends testing for proper operation of the pump before moving on to the next well. Well Wizard®...

(at least 60 seconds) and then switch to a long discharge cycle to completely empty the volume of the bladder. Maximum bladder capacity for Well Wizard and Sample Pro pumps is shown is the table below. - Page 28 4. Observe the pressure gauge - it should remain steady for at least a minute (a very slow decay in the pressure is acceptable) 5. Observe the pump discharge tubing - there should be no discharge of water or air bubbles. Well Wizard® Installation and Operation Manual Rev. E 06-05-2023...

Page 29: Initial Troubleshooting
If the pump is producing water with each discharge cycle but the total flow rate appears to be low and the measured discharge volume of the bladder is less than 80% of the rated maximum capacity, see the Well Wizard Troubleshooting Guide for details on optimizing the controller settings. -
Page 30: Bladder Pump Operation In Low Submergence Applications
In wells in which this water column height is 5 feet or less, the pump is considered to be in a low-submergence application. Well Wizard bladder pumps fill by hydrostatic pressure. As the inside of the bladder fills with water, the bladder expands. This filling and expanding of the bladder is referred to as the “refill”... -
