About

How Does It Work?

The Well Bubbler is an automated monitoring system for municipal and agricultural wells, tanks and reservoirs. Compressed air is forced through an air line to accurately measure liquid level. The standing and pumping level is then recorded and shown on the display, or sent to your smartphone. 


Flow rate, discharge pressure and pump power are measured simultaneously to calculate specific capacity and overall pumping efficiency (OPE). The Well Bubbler is designed and built in the United States.

The US Geological Survey (USGS), Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and University of Missouri recommend using compressed air, and an airline, to manually measure well water level. The Well Bubbler performs the same test automatically!

The Well Bubbler is compatible with all pulse-type and 4-20mA flow meters.

BENEFITS

Ease of Installation

 

The  Well  Bubbler  was  developed  after  years  of  struggling  with  transducers and acoustic well level sensors. Submersible pump motor wiring and  tight  clearances  cause transducer cable to  snag  during  installation. Turbine pump motors drip oil into the well, clogging and fouling the transducer. The pump  can be damaged by "swallowing"  the transducer  body  and  wiring, while VFD electrical noise  can  make  transducers unreadable. 


Splashing water during well recharge, deviated well geometry, and engine  noise  affect the accuracy of acoustic sensors. The  Well  Bubbler  can  be  safely  installed  with all pump  and motor types -  it  is  not  affected  by  oil  in  the  well, VFD noise, or engine noise.

 The Well Bubbler uses built-in solar power and requires no wiring, assembly AC power.  In many cases, an air line is already installed in the well, for a truly "plug-and-play" installation.

FEATURES

Plug-and-Play Operation

Each Well Bubbler includes the following features as standard, allowing for accurate, reliable well level measurement out of the box. 


  • Cellular data reporting and text alerts
  • Record flow rate from pulse-type flow meters
  • Record pump power & pressure using 4-20mA sensors
  • Built-in solar power - no wiring, assembly or AC needed
  • LCD display - visible in bright sunlight, and at night
  • Relay output - stop the pump when level is low
  • Secure data logger - view well level & flow rate history
  • SCADA / PLC output - 4 to 20mA and 0 to 5Vdc
  • Use with standard, 1/4" diameter air tubing
  • External power input - for remote solar panels or AC
  • External power output - used to power flow meters

ACCESSORIES

The following optional Well Bubbler accessories aid in sensor and air line installation.


Air Line Kit

Use the air line kit for wells without an existing air line. Our tubing has a small 5/32" outer diameter, a 1/2" bend radius and is rated for 350 psi for ease of installation and long service life. The kit includes a set of push-to-connect fittings for use with the Well Bubbler.


Weight Bead Kit

The weight bead kit is used with our 5/32" diameter air line. The beads have a small 3/8" diameter, a 1/2" length, and are used to weigh down the tubing during installation. They are made from soft, zinc-plated brass and include all fittings required for installation. Combined with food-grade lubricant, the flexible, small-diameter assembly can be installed in the tightest wells with minimal access; the beads and fittings are designed to separate from the tubing if stuck.


Tubing Caddy

The tubing caddy makes frequent installations convenient and accurate. Carry up to two, 1000-foot spools 5/32" tubing. The caddy includes a precision tubing length counter, showing the exact length of tubing installed in the well.


Mounting Kit

The Well Bubbler is designed for mounting on open-face 1-5/8 structural strut channel. The strut can be mounted directly in the ground, to a backboard or a concrete pump pad. The mounting kit includes a 12" section of strut, with fasteners. Contact us for longer sections of structural channel, fittings and fasteners.

Well Bubbler accessories are sold separately from the unit, and are used in wells without an existing air line.
