STARTUP
1.
After plumbing and wiring are complete, close the service
valve to allow startup without pressurizing the entire
plumbing system. If a service valve was not installed,
close all fixtures in the home. Ensure the bottom drain
is closed.
2.
Restore power to the Well-X1
®
by turning on the breaker
and electrical service switch (if installed). The display
will illuminate.
3.
The display will read "
88
" to test the display illumination,
then a number identifying the control type (i.e.
15
). This
number is for factory use and may vary by model and
manufacture date.
4.
After a slight pause, the pump will start and the system
pressure will be displayed. This number will increase as
the pump runs and the tank fills.
Note:
Some jet pumps may be difficult to prime, resulting
in the low water cut-off activating if pressure will not build
above 10 psig. Depressing the
s
arrow will temporarily
override the low water cut-off to allow proper priming.
5
The factory cut-out (pump off) setting is 60 psig.
When the pump reaches 60 psig, the Well-X1 will
shut the pump off. Check the plumbing for leaks and
repair before continuing. If during startup the cut-
out setting of 60 psig cannot be reached, read the
adjustment instructions to lower the cut-out within the
pump’s capability.
6.
Slowly open the service valve to allow the system to
pressurize. The pressure may drop slightly during this
process. After the valve is fully open, open the fixture
closest to the Well-X1 to begin drawing water from
the tank.
7.
When the system reaches the factory cut-in (pump on)
setting of 40 psig, the pump will start. Like a traditional
mechanical switch, the pressure will begin to rise,
repeating the cycle. If desired, the Well-X1 settings can
now be adjusted as shown.
