Section 1: System Description
Function and Theory
The PFAS Free Portable Bladder Pump is designed specifically for sampling per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and
perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in groundwater. PFAS compounds are synthetic
chemicals used in firefighting foams, stain resistant carpets, and other repellant/non-stick
applications. A chemically stable substance with low volatility, PFAS compounds are not
absorbed well in soil and can migrate to water sources. The PFAS Free Portable Bladder
pump is made with PFAS free materials such as 316 Stainless Steel, high-density
polyethylene (HDPE), and Buna-Nitrile to provide representative water samples for
testing.
The PFAS Free Portable Bladder Pump is proven to not contribute any PFAS substances
to samples. Complete pump, tubing and safety cable have been soak tested and
laboratory analyzed under ‘EPA 537 Modified’ method. The samples from those tests
showed non-detect for all 25 PFAS analytes. (See Section 6: System Specifications)
The pump is ideal for both gentle low-flow sampling and higher flow rate purging. Timed
ON/OFF cycles of compressed air alternately squeeze the flexible bladder to displace
water out of the pump to the surface and then exhaust the air allowing the pump to refill.
Fluid enters the pump through the fluid inlet check valve at the bottom of the pump body
via hydrostatic pressure. The bladder then fills with fluid. Compressed air enters the space
between the bladder and the interior of the pump housing. The intake check valve
(bottom) closes and the discharge check valve (top) opens. Compressed air squeezes the
bladder, pushing the fluid to the surface (see Figure 1-1). The discharge check valve
prevents back flow from the discharge tubing. Operated by the Bladder Pump Controller
(BP Controller) or Geocontrol PRO, this cycle automatically repeats.
Compressed air does not contact the sample. The bladder prevents contact between the
pump drive air and the fluid sample.

System Components
A Geotech Portable Bladder Pump consists of four components:
- Bladder Assembly
- Pump Housing
- Internal Tube Assembly
- Intake Screen Assembly
* Optional: Drop Tube Intake Assembly. See Section 7: Replacement Parts List.
Bladder Assembly
The bladders are made from extruded Polyethylene (PE) to provide a long life and to
ensure undisturbed samples in PFAS sampling applications. The internal bladders are
easily replaceable, see Section 4: System Maintenance.
Pump Housing
The bladder pump housing is constructed of electro polished 316 Stainless Steel. The
black Buna Nitrile O-rings provide the high-pressure seals between the end caps and the
housing tube.
Intake screen
The intake filter screen is constructed of 316 Stainless Steel and is easily removable for
field maintenance. The intake filter screen protects and extends the life of the bladder
material (see Warranty).
Optional Drop Tube Intake Assembly
An optional drop tube can be used to sample from depths below the specified maximum
sampling depth. The Drop Tube Assembly connects a remote intake to the pump through
a tube connected to the pump inlet. The intake depth can be any custom length of tubing.
The pump assembly itself must be submerged below the water level. This means the
depth to water cannot exceed the maximum pumping depth of the pump.
Read and understand the portable generator and/or portable air
compressor user manual for proper installation and operation, and
Earth grounding instructions. If using portable compressed gas tanks,
exercise proper caution, use safety protection devices as outlined by
the supplier, and observe any additional safety requirements
mandated by local jurisdiction.
If using a drop tube assembly not provided by Geotech, ensure all
materials are PFAS testing approved. Use of unapproved materials
may contaminate samples.
6
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.

Reverse Coil Method
When lowering the pump into the well, it is important to reverse the natural bend of the
coiled tubing so that the tubing will straighten out as it is lowered (see figure 2-1). As the
pump and tubing are lowered into the well, the direction of the bend should be reversed
from the direction in which it is coiled. If the tubing is allowed to uncoil naturally and the
natural bend not interrupted, the tubing will continue its coil into the well. Using the reverse
coil method will avoid difficulty in lowering the pump into the well, especially when the well
is not vertical, or has come out of alignment for any reason.
Optional Drop Tube Intake Assembly
If a Drop Tube Intake Assembly is employed, a third tubing line is necessary to connect
from the bottom of the bladder pump to the top of the drop tube intake.
For deployment of optional Drop Tube Intake Assembly, attach desired length of drop tube
between the intake’s hose barb and hose barb on bottom of pump. For added security, a
safety cable may be installed to support the drop tube intake to the bottom of pump.
Send the drop tube intake down the well followed by the drop tube tubing, then the pump,
and finally the air and fluid discharge lines.
Figure 2-1: Reverse Coil Method
8
Section 3: System Operation
Once tubing and safety cable are connected, slowly deploy the pump into the well. If depth
to water is known, a mark can be placed on the tubing to indicate when the pump has
reached the desired level.
The pump must be fully submerged. Optimal pump performance is achieved with
submergence of greater than 10’ (3m) of water column. Less submergence could result in
reduced pump performance and physical damage to the bladder. Worn bladders can
develop a shape memory and may not be able to fill completely without sufficient
submergence. Pumping will still be achieved and the sampling event can be completed.
Once the pump is at the desired level within the well, set the controller DISCHARGE and
FILL timers. These settings should be such that the bladder is never over compressed.
Set the pressure cycle so the fluid stream exiting the fluid line starts to fall off when the
DISCHARGE timer expires. If the controller being used has a pressure gauge, you will
notice the pressure level will climb and then stabilize during pumping and start to increase
after all of the water has been evacuated from the pump. If you notice the pressure
increasing after a pump cycle, reduce the pressurization/discharge time.
Using the Example Flow Rates, set the FILL TIME to optimize the amount of fluid
discharged during the pressure cycle.
Both FILL TIME and DISCHARGE TIME vary depending on submergence, depth to water,
tubing size, and overall tubing length.
More information can be found in the user manual specific to the controller you are using.
Flowrates
Bladder Pump flow rates are influenced by pump size (diameter and length), pump depth
and submergance, as well as controller selection (i.e. compressor performance, valve flow
coefficient). A large pump at shallow depths will produce the most flow, and a small pump
at maximum depths will produce the least amount of flow.
Factors that increase flow:
increased submergance (depth of pump below water line).
a strong compressor, like the Geocontrol PRO, will enable fast pressure build up
in the airline tubing and pump cavity.
a clean intake screen will maximize the amount of water entering into the pump.

Speak with a Geotech representative to determine the best configuration to fulfill your
sampling needs.
Flow rates are based on 3’ (0.9 m) of pump submergence. Field
environments typically provide over 10’ (3 m) of submergence, which
increases flow.

Calculation guideline:
Volume of Tubing (in³/cm³)
+ Volume of Bladder Pump (in³/ cm³)
= Air Consumption per cycle (in³/ cm³)
If planning to use an air compressor, use one with a reserve tank to ensure proper air
supply to the pump. If using a Nitrogen Tank, see Figure 3-1 for Nitrogen Tank Volume vs.
Bladder Pump consumption. Ensure the air compressor is constructed from suitable
materials for sampling PFAS compounds.
11
Figure 3-1: Tank Volume vs. BP Consumption
12
Determining PSI
Determine the air pressure needed to operate the Bladder Pump based on the length of
the air supply line to the pump (well depth). Use the simplified formula:
0.5 PSI (per foot) + 10 PSI (to account for tubing friction) = required PSI
0.12 bar (per meter) + 0.7 bar (to account for tubing friction) = required bar
As mentioned above, the additional 10 PSI/ 0.7 bar is to account for the pump itself and
friction loss along the airline tubing. When the length of the airline is 50’ (15 m) or less,
there is no need for the additional pressure.
The formulas stated above are not absolute, and are meant to
provide baseline information.
13
Section 4: System Maintenance
Remove the pump from the well. It is not necessary to remove the air and sample lines
from the pump. Upon removal, note the pump may be filled with fluid.
Bladder Removal Steps
1. Remove the bottom intake assembly and outer housing by turning the housing
counter-clockwise.
Use your hand or a strap wrench
If the pump does not easily come off, use the wrench flats on the cap to
provide leverage. The housing should twist/slide off.
DO NOT grip the hose barbs.

2. Remove the lower HDPE Compression Ring (#21150149) by pulling it off the end
of the internal center tube assembly (18” #21150091; 36” #21150136)
Geotech uses black Buna-N O-rings for the PFAS free portable bladder
pumps. If you receive an O-ring from Geotech that is not black, do not
use the O-ring on the bladder pump and contact a Geotech
representative. Using incorrect materials while testing for PFAS
compounds will contaminate testing samples.

Replacement Parts
Due to the sensitivity of PFAS testing, it is important to use only PFAS testing approved
materials. Use of unapproved materials, such as Viton, will contaminate samples.
Additional PFAS approved replacement parts can be purchased through Geotech. See
Section 7: Replacement Parts List.
Inspect O-rings and bladder for damage.
Replace if torn, ripped, or excessively worn.
21
Section 5: System Troubleshooting
Do not operate equipment if it has been damaged, broken, smashed, or excessively
worn. Broken components pose a severe threat to the safety of the operator and
his or her environment. Contact Geotech for any service or repair needs.
Problem: Air in fluid line or flow cell.
Solutions:
Ensure timer settings on controller prevent bladder from being over pressurized.
Verify HDPE collar is in place at either end of the bladder. Inspect O-rings for
damage and replace if needed. Inspect bladder for cuts and holes and replace if
needed.
Occasionally, significant amounts of dissolved gasses can be encountered in
ground water, especially in deep well areas with significant hydraulic pressures.
When this fluid is exposed to atmosphere, out-gassing may occur. Refer to your
Standard Operating Procedures for specifics on dealing with this situation.
Problem: Not pumping any fluid (or no air).
Solutions:
Verify the pump is below static water level. Inspect airline tubing for kinks, cracks
or breaks. Make sure there are no leaks at any fittings. Replace damaged or
worn tubing. Cut tubing back and re-terminate at leaking fitting joint.
Problem: Not pumping any fluid (air is coming out fluid discharge line).
Solutions:
Disassemble pump and inspect the O-rings and bladder. Replace either or both if
damaged. Verify the pump is below static water level.
If you are experiencing other problems than mentioned above, please call Geotech
Technical Support for immediate assistance, (800) 833-7958.
Read and understand the portable generator and/or portable air
compressor user manual for proper installation and operation, and
Earth grounding instructions. If using portable compressed gas tanks,
be sure to exercise proper caution and safety protection devices as
outlined by the supplier and any additional safety requirements
mandated by local jurisdiction.
