DISCHARGE PIPE AND PRESSURE TANK CONNECTIONS

Connecting Pump Discharge to Pre-Charged

Tank Connections (Figure 5)

1. Install tee in the pump discharge port. The pipe

size must be at least as large as the discharge port.

2. Run a pipe from one arm of the tee in the pump’s

discharge port to the end of the tee installed in the

pre-charged tank.

3. Connect the other end of the tank tee to your

plumbing system.

4. Cap the remaining openings in the tees with a

threaded plugs, a pressure gauge or pressure control

valve.

5. Check the air pressure in the tank using an ordinary tire

gauge. The air pressure should be 2 PSI less than the

cut in setting of the pump’s pressure switch. The

pre-charge tank’s pressure is measured when

there is no water in the tank. For example, if your pump

has a 30/50 PSI pressure switch, your pump will turn

on when the pressure in the line drops to 30 PSI (cut

in pressure) and will turn o when the pressure in the

line increases to 50 PSI (cut out pressure). The air pres

sure in the tank should be set at 28 PSI, (30-2)

6. Fill pump body with water.

7. Go to Electrical section.

Connecting Pump Discharge to Standard Tank

(Figure 6)

1. Install tee in the pump discharge port.

2. Run a pipe from one arm of the tee installed in the

pump’s discharge port to the end of the tee installed in

the tank.

3. Connect the other end of the tank tee to your plumbing

4. Install in another opening of the pump tees a reducer

bushing down to 1/8” barb tting in the tee.

Run tubing from the tee to the port on the Air Volume

Control (AVC) mounted on the tank.

5. Cap the remaining openings with a threaded plug,

pressure gauge and pressure control valve.

6. Seal all joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape

or a PTFE-based pipe joint compound. See instructions

provided with the tank and the AVC for details.

7. Pour water in the pump.

8. Go to Electrical section.

Sealing Pipe Joints

Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or PTFE-based

joint compounds for making all threaded connections

to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on

plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in pump

components. Make sure that all pipe joints in the

suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the

suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to

pull water from the well.
