Installation
TESTING FOR BLADDER LEAKAGE
Step 1. Disconnect power to pump.
Step 2. Drain water from tank bladder by opening
faucet closest to tank.
Step 3. Remove valve cap and release all pressure by
depressing valve core. When air stops coming
from valve, remove valve core to release
remaining pressure.
Step 4. Disconnect piping from elbow on tank cover
flange.
Step 5. Carefully turn tank upside down or lay on its side.
Retained water in tank may cause sudden
weight shift when lowering. Support tank so it cannot
fall when being lowered or inverted.
Step 6. If bladder leaks, water will run out of valve. If
so, replace bladder.
Step 7. If replacing bladder, be sure air and water
pressures are relieved before removing cover
flange. When reassembling cover flange, do
not tighten nuts or mounting studs more than
85 in-lbs. (9.6 Nm).
NOTICE: When using metal pipe with plastic fittings use
only Teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik

NOTICE: Most standard tanks have separate inlet and
outlet ports. Pre-charge tanks have one port serving both
functions. When replacing standard tank with a pre-
charge tank, run pipe from pump into a tee as shown.
2nd leg of tee goes to tank elbow; 3rd leg goes to exist-
