Is there a way to protect a low-flow system when pumps are being moved between individual wells?

In a gas field with multiple water wells, there are pumps that are moved between individual wells (we have been using a HydraSleeve) because a dedicated low-flow system is vulnerable to destruction. Is there a way to protect a dedicated low-flow system in such a situation?

This is a challenging situation. We have found that the QED portable bladder pump design which uses a stainless steel pump body, it’s pretty tough and rugged, and the polyethylene tubing connected to it works pretty effectively. The low-flow approach with a portable bladder pump works down to about 250 feet.
