All Well-X-Trol Underground Tanks
are designed for direct
burial and must be installed
in the vertical position only
. To
eliminate danger of freezing, tank should be buried below the
frost line.
The following steps should be taken when installing a Well-X-Trol
Underground Tank:
1.
Make sure that the tank will be buried below the frost line and
above the water table.
2.
Remove plastic bag and check tank precharge. Factory
precharge is 38 psig. Replace air stem cap securely. Follow
adjusting precharge procedure.
3.
Important: Install tank vertically connector end down as shown
on firm
rock-free earth
. Do not bury in plastic bag.
4.
The water lines from the pump to the tank and switch location
should be the same size to prevent switch cycling.
5.
Check the system for performance and inspect for leaks.
6.
Important: Backfill hole with sand. Firmly tamp fill to prevent
settling. Failure to do so will shorten tank life.
7.
Fill out pressure tank location sticker and affix to power panel
or other visible surface so tank can be easily located at a
later time.
