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.*

(see Figure 5) to the port on the AVC mounted on the tank. See
instructions provided with tank and AVC for details. AVC port loca-

Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for mak-
ing all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use
pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with
the plastic in pump components. Make sure that all pipe joints
in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the suc-
tion pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water
from the well.
