LOCATION OF THE PUMP
Decide on the area for the pump installation. Select a pump location with adequate space for
future pump maintenance. It can be located in the basement or utility room of the house, at the
well, or between the house and the well. If installed outside of the house, it should be protected
by a pump house with auxiliary heat to prevent possible freezing. The well also should be
protected for sanitary reasons. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
TANKS — PRE-CHARGED STORAGE
For best performance of the pump, it is recommended that you use a diaphragm pressure tank
(not included). It is best to have this in place before installing the pump. A pre-charged storage
tank has a flexible bladder or diaphragm that acts as a barrier between the compressed air and
water. This barrier prevents the air from being absorbed into the water and allows the water to
be acted on by compressed air at initially higher than atmospheric pressures (pre-charged).
More usable water is provided than with a conventional type tank. Pre-charged tanks are
specified in terms of a conventional tank. For example, a 20-gallon pre-charged tank will have
the same usable water or draw-down capacity as a 40-gallon conventional tank, but the tank is
smaller in size.
CAUTION:
In order for the pump and tank to operate properly, the pressure tank needs to be drained
of all water BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW PUMP. After draining, if you are using the
supplied 30/50 PSI pressure switch at the pre-set settings, add or adjust the air pressure
in the tank to 28 PSI of pressure BEFORE startup.
