Installation 5
• Adjust switch according to switch
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Reconnect power supply to pump and
pump up pressure in system.
• Disconnect power supply to pump again
and re-check switch setting.
• Repeat until pressure switch starts pump
within ±1 PSI of proper setting.
• If cut-in setting is too low, system will
rattle or develop water hammer when
pump starts.
• Cut-out setting is not as critical as cut-
in setting. Make sure that pump will
stop running in a rea son able time. If it
does not, cut-out setting may need to be
adjusted down slightly. Be sure that after
readjustment, system does not rattle or
hammer on startup.
7. Re-check tank air pre-charge to be sure it is 2
PSI below pump pressure switch cut-in setting
(see Page 3).
TESTING FOR WATER CELL
LEAKAGE
1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Drain all water from tank water cell by
opening faucet closest to tank.
3. Remove valve cap from valve and release all
pressure possible by depressing valve core.
When air stops coming from valve, remove
valve core to release remaining pressure.
4. Disconnect piping from elbow on tank flange.
5. Carefully turn tank upside down or lay it on
its side.
Retained water in tank may cause
sudden weight shift when lowering. Support
tank so that it cannot fall when being lowered or
inverted.
6. If water cell leaks, water will run out of valve.
If so, replace water cell.
WATER CELL REPLACEMENT
To be sure cover flange cannot
blow off of tank, release all air from system before
re moving nuts from cover flange.
1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Follow steps 2 through 5 under “Testing For
Water Cell Leakage”, above.
3. Remove nuts from tank cover flange. Tap
cover flange to break seal and remove.
4. Water cell will not come out in one piece.
Hold water cell with pliers and cut wherever
convenient with single edge razor blade or
sharp knife. Continue holding and cutting
until water cell is removed.
5. Clean and dry inside of tank.
6. Before water cell can be inserted into tank, it
must be tightly rolled up as follows:
• Place water cell on clean surface with
opening to one end and flatten to force air
out. Pull ends out flat (see Figure 3).
• To get tightest possible wrap, start on one
side at top and TIGHTLY roll water cell
diagonally to other side (see Figure 4). To
force out as much air as possible, be sure
to roll toward water cell neck opening.
7. To help insert water cell, sprinkle outside
of it with talcum powder. With tank on its
side, push tightly rolled water cell into tank,
hooking water cell neck ring over edge of
tank head.
8. Insert arm in water cell and push sidewalls
outward. It is not necessary to remove all
wrinkles from water cell.
NOTICE: Don’t push water cell into tank further
than its own length. In a large tank, water cell can
slip out of reach if pushed too far.
9. Clean tank head sealing surface and lip ring
groove of cover flange.
10. Pull lip ring of water cell through tank
opening and seat it against tank head.
11. Clean sealing surface and groove of cover
flange; place on tank (see Figure 5).
