Installation

Tighten the tank head

*It is very important to use flexible connections on the inlet and
outlet plumbing in the horizontal orientation as shown in the 
images on this page. The tanks expand and contract with water 
pressure fluctuations. Flexible connectors will prevent plumbing 
and tank leaks. The EDP code for the suggested PVI 2” Flexible 
Connectors is C515285 (Two are included and required for instal-
lation).

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 EDP code for the suggested vacuum relief valve is
0556031 (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.

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.

Support the Piping

2 inch Flex Connectors must be installed horizontally not vertically 
in the water pipe line. The full weight of the piping and valves must 
be supported by uni-strut, pipe hangers or other means. The tank 
connections cannot support the weight of the piping. The image 
below for a multi-tank system installation shows properly support-
ed piping.

WARNING

Start-Up

Connect a hose to the hose bibb on the outlet of 
the tank. Run the hose to a drain and open the hose 
bibb.

Slowly/partially open the supply water ball valve. 
Allow the tank to slowly fill with water. When a 

Fill in install date and rebed due date on product label located
on front of each tank as reminder to replace AquaSolve media
every 3 years. The system is now ready for service.

NOTICE

Typical Installation for Single and  
Multi-Bank Systems

steady stream of water appears at the drain, close 
the supply valve and hose bibb.

Open the inlet and outlet valves on the system. 
Transfer the bypass valves from Bypass to the 
Service position. Open a nearby faucet downstream 
from the AquaSolve system to relieve any air.

Check for leaks. Repair as needed.

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.
