1. Find the Maximum Acceptance for the installed 

 

Well-X1 model.

2.  Ensure the desired operating range does not exceed 

that model’s Maximum Acceptance.

3.  To enter the programming mode, press and hold the 

 button until 

LO

 appears. This is the cut-in setting. 

Factory default will be 40 psi.

4.  Use the 

and 

arrows to raise or lower the cut-in 

setting.  Adjustment can be made within 10 psig or as 

wide as 55 psig of the cut-out setting to 60 psig. If this 

range is exceeded, the display will cease to change 

even though the button is being pressed.

 

Minimum setting is 10 psig.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

The Well-X1

®

 utilizes a simple cut-in/cut-out adjustment. Before setting the desired operating range, refer to the chart 

below to ensure the Well-X1's Maximum Acceptance is not exceeded. Adjust the precharge as shown on page 9.

CAUTION!

 Exceeding Maximum Acceptance will reduce tank life and cause irreparable damage.

once and the display 

will read

. Again, press the

t

or 

buttons to raise 

or lower the setting. The same 10-55 psig differential 

range applies.

 

Maximum setting is 80 psig.

6. After adjusting the cut-in and 

cut-out, release the buttons. 

After a slight pause, 

Pr

displayed, indicating the settings 

are saved in the event of a 

 

power outage.

PRECHARGE ADJUSTMENT

Whenever the cut-in (LO) setting is changed, the tank 

precharge must be adjusted. To do this, shut the Well-X1

 

off 

and open the drain to empty all water. Using an air gauge, 

adjust the precharge to 2 psig below the cut-in (LO) setting. 

Failure to adjust the precharge will result in tank damage or 

water interruption.

DANGER!

  

Explosion  Hazard.

 If the 

Well-X1 has been in service and a 

change to a higher pre-charge is necessary due to a 

required change in the setting, failure to follow instruction 

below can cause a rupture or explosion, possibly causing 

serious or fatal personal injury, and/or property damage.

• Do not adjust or add pressure if there has been a loss  

of air.

• Do not adjust the pre-charge pressure if there is visible 

exterior corrosion.

• Do not adjust the pre-charge pressure if there has 

been a reduction in pump cycle time or the pre-charge 

pressure compared to its initial setting. This is because 

reduction in pump cycle time can result from loss of 

tank air pressure which in turn can mean there may 

be internal corrosion and any re-pressurization or 

additional pressure could result in rupture or explosion.
