Section 2: System Installation 

 
The user must determine site-specific parameters such as water level, recharge rate, and 
adherence to low flow purging guidelines. 
 

   

Safety Cable 

 
Before deploying any sampling pump, secure a safety cable from an anchoring point at or 
near the wellhead to the top of the pump. When testing in PFAS contaminated 
environments, ensure the safety cable does not have any nonstick or repellant coating as 
these coatings may be made with PFAS materials and will contaminate testing samples. 
Ensure all safety cables are PFAS testing approved before use. 

Pump Controller 

 
Geotech PFAS Free Portable Bladder Pumps can be operated with 

Geotech’s Geocontrol 

PRO, BP Controller 300 PSI, or BP Controller 500PSI. Be sure to consult the user guide 
of the controller you are using. 
 

 

 
The Geocontrol PRO is an easy-to-use portable compressor and logic unit specifically 
designed to operate 

Geotech’s PFAS Free Portable Bladder Pumps. 

 

Pump Tubing Lines 

 
The Geotech PFAS Free Portable Bladder Pump requires two tubing lines. One of the 
lines is used for the air supply and exhaust. The second line is used for discharge fluid. 
See 

Section 6: System Specifications

 for tubing sizes.  

 

 

 

Failure to attach air and fluid lines to the appropriate ports could 
result in damage to the bladder. 
 

In the case that a PFAS Free Portable Bladder Pump is deployed deeper 
than 155’ (47 m) with a Geocontrol PRO, the pump’s overall flow rate will 
decrease. To obtain full bladder volumes in this scenario, use the 
Bladder Pump Controller 300PSI. 
 

Read the following before installation to prevent damage to the 
bladder pump. 
 

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. Operation of the pump is not recommended with 
equipment other than that provided by Geotech.
