Physical Installation
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Completely relieve pressure from the water system before working on the water system. Open the
faucet nearest the tank and allow the water to drain until the tank is empty.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Failure to properly adjust the pre-charge will shorten the life expectancy of the tank.
• This well tank and the associated piping may in time leak. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
water damage that may occur in association with the tank installation.
1. If this tank is replacing a steel galvanized tank, remove existing air volume controls, and remove or
plug any bleeder valves, snifter valves, etc.
• Carefully remove the Red Lion pressure tank from its carton.
2. Remove the plastic cap on the air valve of the new system.
3. Check the tank pre-charge pressure using a standard tire pressure gauge.
4. Adjust the tank pressure setting to 2 psi below the pressure switch cut-in setting (the pressure at
which the pump will start).
IMPORTANT: Complete initial adjustments to the pre-charge prior to tank installation with tank
empty (no water) and with 0 psi pressure on the system. Do not adjust the pre-charge of the tank
with the system under pressure.
• This tank is shipped at a reduced pressure setting.
• All Red Lion branded jet pumps include a pressure switch with a cut-in setting of 30 psi. There-
fore, adjust the pre-charge pressure to 28 psi.
NOTE: If your pump is not a Red Lion model, verify the cut-in setting. Most pressure switches
have the setting marked under their covers. If you cannot determine the settings this way, pres-
surize the switch and note the cut-in setting. See
mended pre-charge pressure settings.
• If required, add air to the tank using a manual bicycle tire pump until the proper pre-charge
pressure is reached.
5. Replace and tighten the plastic cap on the air valve.
6. Place the tank where it is to be installed.
• Select a location where a water leak will not cause property damage and provides adequate
means for water drainage.
• If flooring is uneven, level as necessary.
