Installation

Tighten the tank head.

Anytime AquaSolve systems are installed above the ground floor
of a building it is recommended that a vacuum relief valve also be
installed to protect against tank collapse in the event the plumb-
ing system is drained. If a vacuum relief valve is not used then the
system should be placed in bypass anytime the plumbing system 
is drained. The part number for suggested vacuum relief valve is 
92165 (not included). The vacuum relief valve should be installed 
on the outlet of the system.

NOTICE

•  We recommend the installation of a dual-union ball-valve on 

the inlet and outlet to isolate the tank for servicing.

•  A full bypass should be installed so that the full service flow 

can be routed around the system as needed for servicing.

•  The full weight of the plumbing system must be supported by 

pipe hangers or other means.

NOTICE

Install Piping

Connect the inlet and outlet plumbing according to 
your preferences and any applicable local codes. 
Include sample/drain ports with hose-bibb connec-
tions on the inlet and outlet piping to facilitate startup 
and service.

Check the head on top of the tank. It’s common for it to loosen 
during shipment. Tighten the head with a strap wrench as needed.
