How To Install The Tank

1. Find the fuse or circuit breaker

panel for your house. Turn off the

power to the well pump.

For your safety

the information

in this manual must be followed

to minimize the risk of electric

shock, property damage or

personal injury. Properly ground

to conform with all governing

codes and ordinances.

2. Open a faucet inside the house

as close to the tank as possible.

Drain the system as much as

possible by letting the water run

until it runs out.

3. Close the ball or gate valve (this

is the valve that controls the

ﬂow of water from the tank into

the plumbing system inside the

house) (Fig. 1)

4. Close the ball or gate valve on

the pump feed line, the pipe

through which the pump draws

water from the well into the

house. (Fig. 2) This stops water

from running back into the well.

5. Drain the pump system.

Place a bucket under the drain

nearest the existing tank. Or, run

a hose from the drain into a

bucket or ﬂoor drain. Loosen a

union coupling over the pump

using the pipe wrench and the

adjustable wrench. This will let

air into the system and let the

water run out. Loosen until the

water ﬂows out. Let the water

run out of the system.

If there is no drain near the

tank, open the pipe union closest to the tank using the 12”

adjustable wrench or the 12” pipe wrench. If there are no

union couplings, use a pipe cutter to open the pipe. Insert a

coupling to re-close the system when you are done draining

the system. (Fig. 3)

What You’ll Need

Before You Start

Always be sure to equip your well system with a proper Pressure

Relief Valve. This should be capable of discharging the full output of

the pump at or below the maximum working pressure of the lowest

rated component in the system. See the owner’s manual for your

pump for output information. This is vital for safe operation of the

well system. THIS PRODUCT COMES WITH A 5 YEAR WARRANTY.

SEE WATER WORKER LIMITED WARRANTY FOR DETAILS.

READ CAREFULLY THE PRODUCT INSTALLATION,

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN

THE MANUAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY AND/OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND WILL VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL.

FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL AND STATE CODES AND

REGULATIONS, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH CODES, FOLLOW THE

CURRENT EDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL PLUMBING CODE AND

NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE, AS APPLICABLE.

THIS IS THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. IT IS USED TO

ALERT YOU TO POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY AND

OTHER HAZARDS. OBEY ALL SAFETY MESSAGES THAT

FOLLOW THIS SYMBOL TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL

INJURY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION - ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC

SAFETY ALERTS APPEAR IN THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to utilize a properly sized well tank will result

in excessive strain on the pump and may ultimately

lead to product failure, leaking or ﬂooding or property damage.

RELIEF VALVE REQUIRED. A relief valve should

be installed which is set to open at excessive

pressures (75 psig or more). This will protect the well tank and

other system components should the pressure switch malfunction

and fail to shut the pump off. The relief valve should be installed

at the connection of the well tank to the system piping and have

a discharge equal to the pump’s capacity at 75 psig. At least once

every 3 years or if discharge is present, a licensed contractor should

inspect the temperature and pressure relief valve and replace if

corrosion is evident or the valve does not function. FAILURE TO

INSPECT THIS VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE

TEMPERATURE OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN

PRODUCT FAILURE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND/OR SEVERE

PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.

f. 6. If there are union couplings in the piping, loosen all three union couplings close to the tank using the pipe wrench and adjustable wrench. Undo completely when they are loose enough to work by hand. The pipes will come apart when the couplings disconnect. 7. Loosen and remove all the bolts that anchor the pump to the pump stand using the adjustable wrench. Remove the pump from the pump stand of the existing tank. (Fig.

13. Watch for any leaks in the system. Turn the power back on. The pump will start and fill the tank. Turn on a faucet as far above the pump as possible. This will let air leave the system as it fills with water. As soon as water comes out of the faucet you just turned on, turn it off. The pump will now build pressure in the system until that pressure reaches the pump cut-out setting. If you see a leak, turn off the power immediately and tighten or re-do the connection that is leaking.
