INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Air pressure in the tank must be
2 PSI lower than the “cut-in” of
the pressure switch.
Wrap all threads with thread tape. In
order for the pump (A) and the pressure
tank (not included) to operate properly,
the pressure tank needs to be drained of
all water BEFORE INSTALLING IT TO THE
PUMP. Thread a 10" (25.4 cm) tank tee
(not included) or another necessary size
tee into the pressure tank.
Plug one outlet on top of the tank tee
with a 1/4" (6.4 mm) plug (not included)
and install a pressure gauge (not
included) on the other outlet on top of
the tank tee. Thread two 1" (2.5 cm)
female PVC adaptors (not included) onto
the two inlet sides of tan tee. Thread a
1/2" (1.3 cm) relief valve and a
1/2" (1.3 cm) drain valve (both not
included) to the front of the tank tee.

NOTE:
The pump (A) has a 30/50 PSI
pressure switch, which means the "cut-in"
is 30 PSI; therefore,
the tank needs to be
set to 28 PSI.
To check the pressure in the
tank, use a tire pressure gauge (not
included). If more air is needed, add air to
the tank with a tire pump or air compressor.
If less is needed, bleed out some air.

Using PVC purple primer and PVC
cement, attach a section of
1" (2.5 cm) PVC pipe (not included)
as needed to connect the 1" (2.5 cm)
male PVC adaptor on the discharge
tee to the 1" (2.5 cm) female PVC
adaptor on the tank tee. Attach
another section of 1" (2.5 cm) PVC
pipe (not included) as needed to
connect the other 1" (2.5 cm) female
PVC adaptor on the tank tee to the
water system from the house.
CAUTION!
Never install a shut-off valve
between the pump (A) and the tank, as
this can cause excessive friction loss and
can damage the pressure switch and/or
pump (A). If necessary, only install a fully
open gate valve (not included).
