READ AND FOLLOW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see
this symbol on your pump or in this manual,
look for one of the following signal words and be
alert to the potential for personal injury.
warns about hazards that will cause
serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause
serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property damage if
ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions
which are important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in
this manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
RULES FOR SAFE
INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION
Read the Owner's Manual and Rules for Safe
Operation and Installation Instructions carefully.
Failure to follow these Rules and Instructions could
cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Install system according to local codes.
Always test water from well for purity before using.
Check your local health department for testing
procedure.
Before installing or servicing your tank, BE SURE
pump electric power source is disconnected.
BE SURE your pump electrical circuit is properly
grounded.
Remove bleeder orifices, air volume controls or
other air charging devices in existing system.
To prevent possible serious or fatal
injury and/or damage to equipment, system
pressure must be less than 100 pounds per square
inch (PSI) under any circumstances. Failure to
follow this instruction can result in tank blowup. If
system discharge pressure can exceed 100 PSI,
install a relief valve capable of passing the full
pump volume at 100 PSI.
Hazardous pressure. Read owner's
manual before attempting to install, operate, or
service this tank. To avoid possible equipment
failure, severe injury, and property damage, do not
allow pump, tank, or piping system to freeze.
GENERAL INFORMATION
All tanks are factory pre-charged with air. When
installing tank, adjust pre-charge to 2 PSI below
pump cut-in pressure setting. To do this, bleed or
add air through valve on top of tank.
NOTICE: Transport and install tank in vertical
position ONLY!
NOTICE: Always set pre-charge with NO WATER in
tank.
Check pressure frequently with an accurate tire
pressure gauge until correct pressure has been
reached. For correct pre-charge pressure settings,
see Chart 1, below.

Tank Precharge Settings for use with PENTEK
INTELLIDRIVE Variable Frequency Drives
Set the pressure tank's pre-charge to 70% of the
system operating pressure. When using an external
set point as well as an internal set point, pre-charge
the tank to 70% of the lower set point of the two.
Some applications may require a different
percentage when figuring the set point. Refer to
your PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE operator's manual for
additional information.
NOTICE: Replace and tighten air valve cap if it is
removed for any reason. Failure to replace air cap
may allow loss of air pressure and eventually lead
to tank waterlogging and water cell failure.
Pre-charged storage tanks can be connected
together to increase the supply of usable water
(drawdown). Two tanks of the same size will double
the supply and three tanks will triple the supply.
See Figures No. 1A and 1B for typical installations
of this kind.
