2 Replace missing or damaged safety FOR SAFEINSTALLATION ANDOPERATIONRead the Owner s Manual and Rules for SafeOperation and Installation Instructions to follow these Rules and Instructions couldcause serious bodily injury and/or property system according to local test WATER from well for purity before your local health department for testing installing or servicing your tank, BE SURE pump electric power source is SURE your pump electrical circuit is bleeder orifices, air volume controls orother air charging devices in existing prevent possible serious or fatalinjury and/or damage to equipment, system pres-sure must be less than 100 pounds per square inch(PSI) under any circumstances. Failure to followthis instruction can result in tank blowup. If sys-tem discharge pressure can exceed 100 PSI, installa relief valve capable of passing the full pump vol-ume at 100 pressure. Read owner smanual before attempting to install, operate, orservice this tank.

Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg, ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is only remedy, and PENTAIR WATER s only duty, is that PENTAIR WATER repair or replace defective products (at PENTAIR WATER schoice). You must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty service through theinstalling dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received after the Warranty Period hasexpired.

All parts are the Information 3 GENERAL INFORMATIONAll tanks are factory pre-charged with air. Wheninstalling tank, adjust pre-charge to 2 PSI belowpump cut-in pressure setting. To do this, bleed oradd air through valve on top of tank. NOTICE: Transport and install tank in vertical posi-tion ONLY!NOTICE: Always set pre-charge with NO WATER pressure frequently with an accurate tirepressure gauge until correct pressure has beenreached.

6 For correct pre-charge pressure settings,see Chart 1, below. CHART ITank Precharge Settings for use with PENTEKINTELLIDRIVE Variable Frequency DrivesSet the pressure tank s pre-charge to 70% of thesystem operating pressure. When using an externalset point as well as an internal set point, pre-chargethe tank to 70% of the lower set point of the applications may require a different percent-age when figuring the set point. Refer to your PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE operator s manual for additional : Replace and tighten air valve cap if it isremoved for any reason. Failure to replace air capmay allow loss of air pressure and eventually leadto tank waterlogging and WATER cell failure. Pre-charged storage tanks can be connected together to increase the supply of usable WATER (drawdown). Two tanks of the same size will doublethe supply and three tanks will triple the Figures No. 1A and 1B for typical installationsof this kind.

7 OPERATING CYCLE1. Tank nearly empty air expands filling areaabove vinyl WATER cell (Fig. 2A). 2. WATER begins to enter tank air is compressedabove WATER cell as it fills with WATER (Fig. 2B). 3. Pump-up cycle completed air now com-pressed to cut off setting of pressure switch (Fig. 2C).

WATER being drawn from tank compressedtank air forces WATER out of WATER cell (Fig. 2D). 5. WATER cell completely empty new cycle readyto begin (Fig. 2A). Connect system pipe to tank flange. Use plastic orsteel pipe as required. To prevent leaks, use Teflontape or Plasto-Joint Stik1on male threads of allthreaded connections to tank.

8 NOTICE: To be sure that joint is not cross-threadedand that threads are clean, always make connec-tions by hand (without sealer) first. After makingsure that threads are clean, remove pipe, add Teflontape or Plasto-Joint Stik, and remake by hand first; finish with pipe wrench fortight seal. NOTICE: When replacing a standard tank in a sub-mersible pump system, raise pump and dischargepipe far enough to remove bleeder orifices in dis-charge pipe and plug tees. When replacing a stan-dard tank in a jet pump system, remove Air VolumeControl (AVC) and plug AVC port in areas where the temperature is high for longperiods of time, the tank pre-charge pressure mayincrease. This may reduce the tank drawdown(amount of WATER available per cycle). If this occurs,reduce the pre-charge pressure to two PSI belowthe pump cut-in setting of the pressure switch. It is necessary to flush all air out of the piping sys-tem and WATER reservoir portion of the pre-chargedtank.

9 This is required on new installations, pumpsrequiring repriming and pumps that have been dis-assembled for service. Do this as follows: 1. Open faucets furthest from tank and allowpump to operate. 2. Air in the system will cause a sputtering flow;allow faucets to run until you have a steady, airfree stream. 3. Open and close faucets repeatedly until you aresure all air has been removed. 4. If stream does not become steady, air may beleaking into the system; check for leaks in thepiping on the suction side of the pump. TO CHECK TANK AIR CHARGE If drawdown (amount of WATER that comes out oftank per pump cycle) decreases significantly, checkas follows: 1. To check air charge in tank, shut off electricpower to pump, open faucet near tank, anddrain completely. 2. At the air valve in top of tank, check air pres-sure with a standard tire gauge. Air pressureshould be 2 PSI below pump pressure switchcut-in setting.

10 3. If the air pressure is more than 2 PSI below thecut-in setting, add air to the tank. Use an aircompressor or a portable air storage tank. 4. Use soap or liquid detergent to check for airleaks around air valve. Continuous bubblingindicates a leak. If necessary, install new core inair valve. This is the same as those used forautomobile tubeless tires. TO CHECK PUMP PRESSURESWITCH SETTING1. To check pressure switch setting, disconnectpower to pump at supply panel (but be sure toleave pressure switch connected to power supply wires). 2. Remove pressure switch cover. 3. Open a faucet near tank. 4. Bleed pressure down until pressure switch con-tacts close; immediately close faucet. 5. Check pressure at valve with standard tiregauge or with pump pressure gauge (if supplied). 6. Pressure gauge should read 2 PSI below pumpcut-in setting (28 PSI for 30-50 switch, 18 PSIfor 20-40 switch, etc.)
