Introduction 

 

The Well Wizard dedicated bladder pump system includes both dedicated down-well components 
and portable above ground components. The water contacting components are dedicated; they 
remain installed in each well. The pump controller, compressed air or gas source and water 
quality monitoring components are portable and are transported from well to well. 
 
This document is intended to assist you with the proper installation of your Well Wizard dedicated 
bladder pump system, covering key steps and installation tips. Your system may have some 
custom components that may require some deviation from these instructions.  Instructions for 
those components will typically be included on an accompanying separate instruction sheet. 
 
If you have any questions or problems while you’re in the field and can’t find a solution, please 
call QED Customer Service at the phone numbers above. For questions that aren’t urgent, you
