Installation (Continued)
PRE-CHARGE TANK CONNECTION
(FIGURE 4)
1. Install two tees in the pump
discharge port (See Figure 4). The
pipe size must be at least as large as
the discharge port.
2. Run a pipe or reinforced hose from
one arm of the first tee to the port
on the pre-charged tank.
3. Connect the other end of the
discharge tee to your plumbing
system.
4. Check the pre-charge of air in the
tank with an ordinary tire gauge. The
pre-charge should be 2 psi less than
the cut-in setting of the pump’s
pressure switch. The pre-charge is
measured when there is no water
pressure in the tank. Your new pump
has a 30/50 psi switch, so adjust the
tank pre-charge pressure to 28 psi.
You have just completed the tank
connection for your jet pump.
Please go to Pages 7 and 8 for electrical
hookup.
STANDARD TANK CONNECTION
(FIGURE 5)
1. Install one tee in the pump discharge
port (See Figure 5).
2. Run a pipe from the pump discharge
port to the inlet port of your tank.
The pipe size must be at least as
large as the discharge port.
3. Remove the 1/8” NPT pipe plug from
the pump Air Volume Control (AVC)
port (See Figure 5). Run tubing from
the pump’s AVC port (See Figure 5)
to the port on the AVC mounted on
the tank. See instructions provided
with tank and AVC for details. AVC
port location will vary, depending on
your pump model (See exploded
view, Page 15).
You have just completed the tank
connection for your jet pump.
Please go to Pages 7 and 8 for electrical
hookup.

SEALING PIPE JOINTS
Use teflon tape or a teflon-
based pipe joint compound to
seal the joints in the suction
pipe. Make sure that all pipe
joints in the suction pipe are air-
tight as well as water tight.
If the suction pipe can suck air,
the pump will not be able to
pull water from the well.
