Intake assembly is employed a third tubing line is necessary On the 675 1 7 cm and 85 2 cm diameter pumps both air and fluid lines are the same size The letter A has been stamped near the hose barb on the top of the pump This indi cates the air supply and exhaust line barb The remaining barb is for the discharge fluid line Failure to attach air and fluid lines to the appropriate ports could result in damage to the bladder Use of an air source and controller not supplied by Geotech could result in pressure buildup and unexpected pressure storage in the pump and airline Therefore operation of the pump is not recommended with equipment other than that provided by Geotech Once tubing and safety cable are in place slowly deploy the pump screen first into the well If depth to water is known a mark can be placed on the tubing to indicate when the pump has reached the desired level To operate as designed the pump should be fully submerged Opti mal pump performance is achieved with submergence of greater than 10 feet of water column Less submergence could result in reduced pumping performance depending on type of fluid being pumped and physical condition of the bladder Older worn bladders can develop a shape memory and may not be able to fill completely without sufficient submergence In any case pumping will still be achieved and the sampling event can be completed A thin less rugged bladder could fill mor
