Shallow Well Installation (continued)

Connecting a (MM) 10 in. tank tee to
the pressure tank (tank tee size may
vary based on tank size)
Wrap all threads on tank tee with thread tape.
In order for the pump and the pressure tank (sold
separately) to operate properly, the pressure tank must be
drained of all water BEFORE INSTALLING TO THE PUMP.
Thread a (MM) 10 in. tank tee (sold separately) or
recommended size based on pressure tank size.
On the top of the tank tee that faces the pump system, plug
the outlet with a (NN) 1/4 in. plug (sold separately).
On the opposite end of the tank tee install a (OO) pressure
gauge (sold separately) onto the outlet of the tank tee.
On each side inlet of the tank tee, thread a (CC) 1 in. female
PVC adaptor.
On the front of the tank tee that has the 1/4 in. plug, thread
a (DD) 1/2 in. relief valve (sold separately).
On the front of the tank tee that has the pressure gauge,
thread a (GG) 1/2 in. drain valve (sold separately).

Checking the pressure in the tank
Air pressure in the tank must be 2 Psi lower than the
"cut-in" of the pressure switch.
NOTE: The pump has a 30/50 Psi pressure switch, which
means the "cut-in" is 30 Psi; therefore, the tank needs to be
set to 28 Psi. To check the pressure in the tank, use a tire
pressure gauge (not included). If the tank pre-charged less
than 28 Psi, re-charge air to the tank to 28 Psi with a tire
pump or air compressor. If the tank pre charged over 28 Psi,
bleed out some air to 28 Psi.
11
Connecting the piping from the
pump to the tank system
CAUTION: Never install a shut-off valve between the
pump and the tank, as this can cause excessive friction
loss and can damage the pressure switch and/or pump.
If necessary, only install a fully open gate valve
(sold separately).
Using PVC purple primer and PVC cement, attach a section
of 1 in. PVC pipe (sold separately) as needed to connect
the 1 in. male PVC adapter on the discharge tee to the 1 in.
female PVC adapter on the tank tee.
Attach another section of 1 in. PVC pipe (sold separately)
as needed to connect the other 1 in. female PVC adapter on
the tank tee to the water system from the house.
