Q2 AlS’s thin wall, traveling-barrel, bottom anchor API type RWT Q2 ALS pumps are ideal for shallow, particulate-laden wells. Design of pump is to keep the movement of the traveling barrel which keeps the particulates in the fluid in a suspension, which minimizes the potential for sticking that can result from sand settling around the pump. It also eliminates the costs incurred, such as pulling tubing filled with oil or water.
