The purpose of the pressure tank (sold
separately) is to allow a certain amount of water
to be used before the pressure drops enough
to cause the pump to start. Without a pressure
tank, the pump would start and stop constantly,
every time water is used.
NOTE: Use thread tape and thread paste on all
threaded connections.
1. NOTE: Check the air pressure of the tank
with a tire gauge (sold separately) before the
system is charged with water. The pressure
should be 2 lbs. less than the low pressure cut
in on the pressure switch. For instance, for a
30-50 switch, set the tank pressure at 28 lbs.
or less. (Fig. 1)
2. Apply five wraps of thread tape and thread
paste, insert a tank tee (sold separately)
through the opening in the bottom of the
pressure tank, and tighten securely. (Fig. 2)
3. Connect a 3/4 in. fitting (sold separately) to
the 3/4 in. opening on the pipe tee. (Fig. 3)
