Installation Procedures

TYPICAL SUBMERSIBLE
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. The water system tank should be installed as close
as possible to the pressure switch (24 inches or less)
to reduce the adverse effect of friction loss and
elevation differences.
2. Disconnect electric power.
3. Drain system and remove old tank. On new system
installation this step is unnecessary.
4. Locate the water system tank on a firm, level surface
with adequate drainage. Typical installations are
shown in the following section.
Water system tanks can be connected

together to increase the supply of usable

water (drawdown). Two tanks of the same
size will double the supply and three tanks

TYPICAL JET
PUMP INSTALLATION
5. If your system is capable of exceeding a working
pressure of 125 psig (typically submersible pumps),
install a pressure relief valve (rated at 125 psig or
less, but greater than turn-off pressure) in the system
near the tank. The valve should be the same pipe
size as the tank outlet.This is not necessary on tank-
mounted jet pump units.
6. Connect tank to the pump discharge line using the
same size pipe as the pump tap, or larger.
WARNING: Hold 90° tank street elbow with wrench
when threading and tightening connecting pipe.
7. The tank should be flushed 5 times prior
to household use. (See operations section.)
capacity pump, the manifold and pressure switch
assembly must be installed in the pipe line as close
to the center of the tanks as possible. Manifold and
main should be 2 times the size of the feederline.
