DISCHARGE PIPE AND PRESSURE TANK CONNECTIONS
PRE-CHARGE TANK CONNECTION (FIGURE 6)
If your system uses a pre-charged tank, it should be connected
to the pump as shown in Fig. 6. The relief valve must be capable
of passing the entire pump capacity at 100 PSI pressure.
Check the pre-charge of air in the tank with an ordinary tire
gauge. The pre-charge is measured when there is no water
pressure in the tank. Disconnect power to the pump and drain
the tank before checking the pre-charge. Your pump has a
30/50 PSI switch, so the tank pre-charge pressure should be 28
PSI (that is, it should be 2 PSI lower than the cut-in pressure of
the pressure switch.
No AVC is required for a pre-charged tank; the 1/8" NPT AVC port
on the pump body should be plugged.

STANDARD TANK CONNECTION (FIGURE 7)
If your system uses a standard tank, connect it to the pump as
shown in Figure 7. The relief valve used with a standard tank
must be capable of passing the entire pump capacity at 75 PSI
pressure.
Connect the Air Volume Control (AVC) tube to the 1/8" NPT AVC
port on the pump body. Run the tubing from the pump's AVC port
to the AVC mounted on the tank. See the instructions provided
with tank and AVC for details.

SEALING PIPE JOINTS
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape for making all
threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe
joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with
the plastic in pump components. Make sure that all pipe
joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight.
If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to
pull water from the well.
