THE WELL BUBBLER

WWW.WELLBUBBLER.COM

CONFIGURATION: START PUMP LEVEL

The Well Bubbler is equipped with a pump control relay, which can be used to stop the
pump when the water level is low, and to re-start the pump as the water level recovers.
This relay is typically wired to a pump control panel HAND / OFF / AUTO switch.

Set the Start Pump Level to the well level at which the pump should safely start. This 
value is typically determined by the net positive suction head (NPSH) requirement of  the
pump itself.

Note that the pump control relay operates based on the instantaneous air line pressure,
and will react immediately to protect the pump, without waiting for the scheduled 
well level sample.
