Keep this manual with the tank for future reference.

Part #: 9015-378 (07/12)

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 WATERWORKER 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.

How To Install The Tank

1. Find the fuse box or circuit breaker panel for your house. Turn

off the power to the well pump.

For your safety, 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 far above the tank as possible.

This will let air into the plumbing

system and allow water to drain

out of the hot water tank and

plumbing system. Open another

faucet 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 on

the supply line, the pipe which

supplies water to the plumbing

inside your house. (Fig. 1) This

stops water running into or out of

the plumbing in your house.

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. This

stops water from running back

into the well. (Fig. 2)

5. Remove the existing tank. Place

a bucket underneath the tank to

catch water that will drain from

it. Use the 12” adjustable wrench

to loosen the hex or square nut

connection on the bottom of the

existing tank. (If the tank does

not have a hex or square nut

connection, use the adjustable

wrench or pipe wrench as

appropriate to loosen the tank.)

(Fig. 3) Then unscrew the tank

the rest of the way by hand. If

you move quickly, you can turn

the tank over as soon as you lift it

free of the connection and catch

the remaining water in it.
