Function and Theory
Geotech’s pneumatic Bladder Pumps operate with a unique action, ideal for both, gentle low-flow
sampling and high 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 exhaust 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 (automatically by submergence). The bladder then fills with fluid. Compressed air
enters the space between the bladder and the interior of the pump wall housing. The intake check
valve closes and the discharge check valve opens. The compressed air squeezes the bladder,
pushing the fluid to the surface. The discharge check valve prevents back flow from the discharge
tubing. Driven by the Geocontroller II 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 sample.

Selecting an Air Source
To determine the required capacity of the air source used, use the following chart as reference.

System Maintenance
As with any pump, scheduled or periodic maintenance should be performed, according to your
sampling program and specific site conditions. Generally, the more turbid or sandy your water, the
more often you should maintain and clean your pumps. Disassemble the bladder pump per
instructions, decontaminate or replace as needed, then reassemble. Inspect all check balls for wear
and replace as necessary. Inspect all O-rings for splits or cracks and replace as necessary.

Disassembly and Bladder Replacement
Pull pump from the well, it is not necessary to remove the air and sample lines from the pump.
Unscrew the lower cap from the housing, followed by removing the housing from the upper cap.
Wrench flat features are present on both upper and lower caps. Unscrew the compression rings from
the upper cap and lower head. Spanner wrench holes are located on the lower head to avoid spiral
damage to the internal tube. Pull the bladder assembly out from the upper cap. The internal bladder
cartridge can now be removed for maintenance or replacement. Please refer to the Components and
Assembly diagram located on the inside of this manual for reassembly.

Troubleshooting
Cycling air with no sample
•Adjust the controller charge/exhaust times properly.
•Excessive drawdown may be preventing pump submergence.
•Screen intake needs to be submerged at least 5ft deep.
•Test cords and battery to ensure you have a sufficient power source.
•Clean any debris that may be clogging the intake screen.
Air bubbles present in sample
•Replace any O-Rings and bladder if showing tearing or damage.
•Repair or replace air and discharge lines if damaged or split.
Discharge line draining back into pump
•Remove the discharge hose barb and check ball and clean any debris in the check ball area.
