TANK TO HOUSE CONNECTION
5. Attach the pipe from the pump to the tee
installed in Step 4. Then, from the tee,
install 3/4 in. pipe and optional shut off
valve (not included) to connect tee to
house plumbing.
6. IMPORTANT: Air pressure in the tank
must be 2 PSI lower than the "cut-in" of
the pressure switch. Pump has a 20/40
PSI pressure switch, so tank pressure
must be set at 18 PSI. Locate the air
valve/stem on the tank and check
pressure with a tire gauge (not included).
If air needs to be removed, press down on
valve to bleed off air. Use a tire pump or
air compressor to add air if needed.
