SPECIFICATIONS
- 1. System Connection
- 1.2 Vertical Stand Models The 20 & 30 gallon tanks are equipped with plastic stand base and 1″ connection. The 40 gallon tanks are equipped with 11/4″ connection and steel support base.
- 2. Location
- 2.1 Proper Pressure Tank Location The pressure Tank should be installed as close as possible to the pressure switch. This will reduce the adverse effects of added friction loss and pressure switch bouncing, and the difference in elevation between Pressure Tank and switch.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD When pressure tank has been in service and a change in the pressure is necessary due to a required change in the pressure switch setting, failure to follow instructions below can cause a rupture or explosion, possibly causing serious or fatal personal injury, and/ or property damage.
- Do not adjust or add pressure if there has been a loss of air
- Do not adjust the pre-charge pressure if there is visible exterior corrosion
- Do not adjust the pre-charge pressure if there has been a reduction of the pump cycle time or the pre-charge pressure compared to its initial setting. This is because reduction in pump cycle time can result from loss of tank air pressure which in turn can mean there may be internal corrosion and any re-pressurization or additional pressure could result in rupture or explosion.
- 3. Adjusting Pre-Charge Air Pressure, Prior to Installation Step 1. Remove protective air valve cap
Step 2. Check pre-charge pressure (pressure should be + or -10% of the factory setting)
Step 3. Release or add air necessary to make the pre-charge pressure 2 psig below the pressure switch pump cut-in setting. (Example, if you have an 20 Gal Tank with a pre-charge of 30 psig, and you have a pressure switch setting of 30/50 psig, adjust precharge of your tank from 30 psig to 28 psig.) Step 4. Replace protective air valve cap.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow these instructions can cause a rupture or explosion possibly causing serious or fatal injury, flooding, and / or property damage.
- 4. System Connection
- 1. Locate the Pressure Tank in the final desired location
- 2. Level as necessary
- 3. To eliminate friction loss, do not reduce the pipe size from the pump to the Pressure Tank.
- 5. Start Up
- 5.1 Fine Tuning Procedures Many times the actual pressure switch will vary from the standard pressure range indicated. These variations could cause a momentary lag of water delivery, as the pressure switch is not “tuned to the tank recharge pressure”.
Installation
- Fill the system and Pressure Tank until pumps cut off.
- Open one or more fixture to drain the Pressure Tank.
- If there is a momentary pause in the water flow from the time the Pressure Tank is emptied and the pump starts, adjust pump cut in setting clockwise slightly.
- Close fixtures and refill Pressure Tank to pump cut off. Check time to fill.
- Open fixtures and see if pause in water is eliminated. If not, continue adjusting pressure switch.
