THE WELL BUBBLER

WWW.WELLBUBBLER.COM

CONFIGURATION: COMPRESSOR POWER

This setting determines the maximum air pressure and flow rate generated by the 
Well Bubbler. Use the factory setting of 75% for 5/32” OD and 1/4" OD airlines; 
higher values may be necessary when using 3/8” or larger galvanized sounding tube.

Reduce compressor power to 50%-65% when using the Well Bubbler 10-120 with 
tanks or shallow wells, to extend compressor and battery life.

This parameter must be set to 100% with all 10-300 Well Bubblers.
