Step 1. Open faucets furthest from tank and run pump.
Step 2. Run pump until sputtering stops and steady
stream of water flows.
Step 3. Open and close faucets repeatedly until all air
has been removed.
Step 4. If stream does not become steady, air may be
leaking into system; check for leaks in piping on
suction side of pump.
NOTICE: To prevent waterlogging, check tank air charge
annually.

To Check Tank Air Charge
If drawdown decreases significantly, check as follows:
Step 1. To check air charge in tank, shut off electric
power to pump, open faucet near tank, and
drain completely.
Step 2. At air valve, check tank air pressure with tire
gauge. See Chart 1, page 3, for correct pressure
setting. If needed, adjust tank pressure up or
down.
Step 3. Use soap or liquid detergent to check for air
leaks around air valve. Continuous bubbling
indicates leak. If necessary, release air pressure
and install new core in air valve, (same as used
for automobile tubeless tires.)
Testing For bladder Leakage
Step 1. Disconnect power to pump.
Step 2. Remove valve cap and release air pressure by
depressing valve core. If water is mixed with the
air being released through the valve, replace the
bladder. If only air is released, the bladder does
not need replacing.
Retained water in tank may cause sudden
weight shift when lowering. Support tank so it cannot
fall when being lowered or inverted.
Step 3. Open faucet closest to tank and drain water
from system.
Step 4. Disconnect piping from elbow on tank cover
flange.
Step 5. Carefully turn tank upside down or lay on side.
Step 6. Confirm water and air pressure is relieved from
tank by removing valve core. Wait until no more
air/water issues from tank.
Step 7. Remove cover flange to remove bladder. When
reassembling cover flange, do not tighten nuts or
mounting studs more than 85 in-lbs. (9.6 Nm).
NOTICE: When using metal pipe with plastic fittings use
only Teflon™ tape or Plasto-Joint Stik
NOTICE: Most standard tanks have separate inlet and
outlet ports. Pre-charge tanks have one port serving both
functions. When replacing standard tank with a pre-
charge tank, run pipe from pump into a tee as shown.
2nd leg of tee goes to tank elbow; 3rd leg goes to
existing service.
