Section 1: System Description
Function and Theory
The Geotech 1.66 Reclaimer can be configured as a Top Fill, Bottom Fill, or Top and
Bottom Fill fixed intake, positive air displacement pump. The Geotech 1.66 Reclaimer is
designed to withstand the most aggressive down well environments including highly
corrosive fluids without fear of material breakdown or failure.
The Geotech 1.66 Reclaimer will operate in wells 2” (5cm) inside diameter or larger
vertical wells.
The Geotech 1.66 Reclaimer will recover fluids from depths up to 500’
(152m). Refer to Section 3: System Operation.
Flow rates of up to 3 GPM (11.4 LPM) are possible. Refer to Section
6: System Specifications.

4
Section 2: System Installation
Attach product discharge and air supply hoses to the proper barbed fittings on the pump.
Refer to Figure 1-1 and 1-2 below for fitting configurations.
If pump configuration was not sent as a complete system, use the following steps for
assembly:
1. Attach air supply hose to Geotech Pneumatic Controller air supply fitting.
2. Ensure all hoses are installed properly and securely to the fittings.
3. Attach the safety cable to the support look using proper crimps or cable clamps.
The 1.66 Reclaimer can now be lowered into the recovery well. For optimum efficiency,
the 1.66 Reclaimer must be positioned in the well with intake adequately submerged.

Section 3: System Operation
Top Fill Configuration
The Top Fill configuration for the 1.66 Reclaimer is placed in a recovery well with the top
inlet submerged below static groundwater. Combined with the Geotech Pneumatic
Controller, the 1.66 Reclaimer cyclically fills and empties.
Bottom Fill Configuration
The Bottom Fill configuration for the 1.66 Reclaimer is placed ina recover well with the
bottom intake submerged below static groundwater. Combined Geotech’s Pneumatic
Controller, the 1.66 Reclaimer cyclically fills and empties.
Well recharge rate and time sequence settings on the Geotech Pneumatic
Controller will affect the maintainable fluid level.
Compressed air is utilized in this system. To determine pressure
requirements, use .5 PSI per foot (.03 bar per 30.5cm) of lift plus ten. For
example, 30’ (9m) of head would need a minimum of 25 PSI (1.7 bar).
Consult a controller manual for air pressure requirements needed.
Well recharge rate and time sequence settings on the Geotech Pneumatic
Controller will affect the maintainable fluid level. See Figure 3-1.

Section 4: System Maintenance
The Geotech 1.66 Reclaimer has been designed to be virtually maintenance free. In the
event clogging occurs in the pump or trapped particulate in the check ball seats,
disassemble the 1.66 Reclaimer pump and rinse with clean water to dislodge any matter.
The 1.66 Reclaimer is constructed of 300 series Stainless Steel and
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to provide many years of continued service with minimal
maintenance. See Figure 4-1.

Section 5: System Troubleshooting
Problem: Pump does not discharge fluid to the surface.
Solutions:
Check the controller to ensure it is functioning properly.
oConsult controller manual.
Ensure that the air pressure is adequate to overcome the total dynamic head
pressure the pump is working against.
oConsult the controller manual for air pressure requirements.
Inlet screen is clogged.
oRemove the pump from the well, disassemble, and clean screen.
Inlet pipe plug is clogged.
oRemove pump from the well, disassemble, clear the clog, and clean
plug.
Air exhaust vent hose is clogged.
oRemove the pump from the well, disassemble, and clear the vent hose.
Hoses are kinked or cut.
oReplace damaged hoses.
