WATER OUTLET FITTING -
The Hydro-Well III gives you the option of mounting
the water outlet fitting on the bottom back of the tank toward the right or left side of the tank.
Choose the location that best suits your layout and to install the water outlet fittings on the bottom
of the tank.
Apply thread sealant to the male threads on the second 1/2” M-F Elbow (BR286). Thread the
elbow into the 1/2” bulkhead fitting on the outside of the tank on the bottom port you have
selected as your water outlet. Tighten the elbow and align the open end of the elbow in the
direction you will be running your water outlet hose. (Do not over-tighten nipple. Bulkhead fitting
may be damaged and leak if fittings are over-tightened. This damage will not be covered under the
product warranty)
Apply thread sealant to the 1/2” pipe threads on the 3/4” Hose Barb (BR044). Thread the barb
into the elbow. Tighten enough so it will not leak, but do not over-tighten.
Apply thread sealant to one of the PVC 1/2” Hex Plugs (BR226P). Thread the plug into the
unused water outlet port on the other side of the tank.
If desired another elbow and a ball valve can be installed in the unused water outlet port as a tank
drain. It is a good idea to put a male garden hose fitting on the drain to allow you to connect a
garden hose when draining the tank. A cap should be put on the outlet side of the ball valve to
prevent leaking if the valve is accidentally opened. Drain valve and fittings are not included with
the Hydro-Well III.
