MAINTENANCE
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high
temperatures, or pressurized fluids.
• If this water system's tank shows any visible signs of leaking, corrosion or rusting, the tank must be
replaced immediately to avoid personal injury or property damage.
• Do not adjust the tank air pressure if there are any signs of corrosion on the tank. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious injury or death and/or property damage.
Periodic Maintenance
This well tank and the entire system must be checked annually by a qualified professional.
Proper performance of this tank depends on a correct pre-charge of air. When there is no water in the
tank, the air pre-charge should be 2 psi below the cut-in pressure setting of the pump pressure switch.
Check the tank at least once a year to ensure that the pre-charge pressure is within ±2% of that stated
on the identification label.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the tank from the water system without completely relieving the
pressure and draining the water.
1. Disconnect electric power to the pump or control box.
2. Open the faucet nearest to the tank and drain the tank until it is empty. Close the faucet.
3. Check the pre-charge pressure with a standard tire gauge.
4. If necessary, adjust the pre-charge pressure to 2 psi below pump switch cut-in pressure.
5. Check the tank and its connection to the system piping for any signs of water leakage or corrosion.
6. Prime the pump and reconnect the power.
• Refer to the pump owner's manual for instructions.
7. Ensure joints are airtight.
NOTE: Even a pinhole can prevent proper operation of the pump.
8. To protect the outside of the tank, periodically clean it using only soap and water.
