Abstract
An automated wash system for use with a progressing cavity (PC) pump system. The automated wash system includes a wash fluid source and a wash valve. The wash valve is in fluid communication with the wash fluid source and an annulus of a well casing of the PC pump system and is operably coupled to the controller. Upon receipt of a command to initiate a wash cycle, the controller opens the wash valve to enable wash fluid to be directed into the annulus and increases a speed of a PC pump of the PC pump system to effect cleaning of the well casing.
