MicroPurge Mode

  Most MP10 users will leave the controller in the 

default MicroPurge (MP) mode.  See Figure 2 for an example of the 
MP10 in MP mode.  MP mode lets you to use the UP and DOWN keys 
to directly increase and decrease pump flow rates.  The MP10 has a 
broad range of other CPM settings to ensure the availability of a time 
setting that will match your specific conditions.  MP mode also disp-
lays an ID, with a value of 1 to 165 that matches the flow settings (CPM 
and refill and discharge times you have set).  This ID should be noted 
alongside the well identification (QED provides custom weatherproof 
ID badges for purchasers of our MP series of well caps) for quick set-
ting of the optimal controller settings on the next visit by using the 
MP10 in ID mode.

Using CPM 

 The MP10 introduces a revolutionary, simpler way to con-

trol bladder pump flow rate and achieve the low-flow method used by 
experts.  Up/down arrow keys are used to adjust pump flow even at very
low rates, with excellent control and repeatability.

OPERATION

With previous bladder pump controllers, a leading low-flow technique 
called for selecting the number of pump cycles per minute, then adjust-
ing the bladder pump discharge and refill times to achieve the desired 
volume per cycle.  These adjustments were inter-related, complex, and 
varied by operator.  The new MicroPurge Mode (MP) of the MP10 
builds in a "cycles per minute", or CPM, method of flow control.
