2. Periodically inspect system for leaks and performance.
• Replace seals or impeller as required. Refer to “Replacing Mechanical Seals” on page 8 .
3. Clean the exterior of the pump with a solution of vinegar and water, if needed.
4. Clean the exterior of the tank with stainless steel wipes or sprays.
• If using stainless steel sprays, avoid directly spraying the pump motor or electronics.
Checking the Tank Pressure
Check the tank at least once a year to ensure that the pre-charge pressure is within ±2% of 28 psi.
1. Disconnect power to the pump.
2. Open the faucet nearest to the tank and drain the tank until it is empty. Close the faucet.
3. Remove the black valve cover at the front of the tank.
4. Check the pre-charge pressure with a standard tire gauge.
• If necessary, adjust the pre-charge pressure to 2 psi below pump switch cut-in pressure.
5. Restore power to the pump.
Draining
Drain the system if it will be subjected to temperatures below 32 °F (0 °C) or if maintenance is to be
performed.
1. Disconnect power from the system.
2. Open a tap in the water system to release the pressure.
3. Remove the drain and priming plugs from the pump casing.
4. Remove the pressure drain plug if applicable.
