tank plumbing fittings are pre-assembled at the factory. You only have to connect
the discharge line of your system to your home's plumbing distribution line. When
using a separate tank from your pump, we recommend that you install a captive
air tank as shown in our typical installation diagram, that is air injected into the
tank at the factory. This air, which is in addition to atmospheric pressure, increase
the ability of the tank to deliver more water between on/off cycles, thus increasing
the efficiency of your water system. Connect the pump discharge to the tank T,
using adaptors and braided hose, then, connect the other side of tank T to your
home's plumbing distribution line.
Make sure that the precharged air pressure (before connecting the tank) is 2 PSI
less than the starting pressure setting on the pressure switch of your pump.
If you adjust the air pressure after the installation, follow these steps :
Your tank is now properly precharged. Run the pump through a few cycles to
verify that it works properly.
Other types of tanks may be used, such as galvanized standard tanks, epoxy

Epoxy or glass lined tanks with a float have to be precharged by the installer.
Assuming tank is plumbed to pump and all connections are checked for leaks,
follow these steps:

TANK INSTALLATION
SEE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 8
- Check the starting pressure of the pump on the pressure gauge ;
- Disconnect the power to the pump;
- Open nearest faucet to the tank and relieve all pressure in tank,
then close the faucet ;
- Adjust the air pressure of the tank (by pumping or removing air at
the snifter valve) to 2 PSI below the pressure switch "ON" setting ;
- Turn power back on to pump.
- Run pump through one complete cycle, until pump shuts off ;
- Disconnect the power to the pump ;
- Open nearest faucet to the tank and relieve all pressure in tank,
then close the faucet ;
- Close service line gate valve ;
- With a car tire pump, inject air into the snifter valve located in tank.
Watch the pump pressure gauge and stop pumping air when the
pressure reaches 2 PSI below pressure the switch "ON" setting ;
- Return power back on to pump;
- Run pump through one complete cycle ;
- Open service line gate valve.
