3. If pump lowers water in the well far enough
to lose prime, either lower pump in the
well (if possible) or throttle (slow down) the
discharge of the well with the gate valve to
match the capacity of the well. (Fig. 3)
NOTE: If the well is low capacity, use a low
water level control.
PRESSURE TANK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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)
