  IMPROVES MOST AUTOMATIC WATER SYSTEMS This accumulator tank is intended for installation in any pumped water system controlled by a pressure switch, and may also be used with air-driven pumps. The tank can serve as a storage vessel as well as a pulsation dampener for pressurized fluid. The accumulator tank smoothes water flow and reduces on/off switch cycling of the pump by lessening the variation in pressure and flow between the pump and the system discharge points. The even flow of water gives better control of hot water temperature with systems using instant water heaters. PRE-CHARGE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT The accumulator tank is pre-charged at 10 psi (0.7 bar). If your pump electric pump cut-in pressure is significantly different you may adjust the tank pressure to better suit your particular installation. To increase air pressure in the tank, shut the pump off, open a faucet to relieve the system pressure, and adjust precharge pressure using an ordinary tire gauge and tire pump at the valve at the end of the tank. Pressure should be checked from time to time. To check tank pressure: turn off power to the water pump, open a faucet to relieve pressure. Check tank pressure, adjust if necessary. Close faucet and turn on the power to pump. For best results, do not pressurize the tank above 20 psi (1.4 bar)

   

  TYPICAL INSTALLATION Disconnect power supply to an electric pump, or air supply to the air-driven pump. For municipal water supply, shut off the water supply (not necessary on static or tank water supply). Open the faucet or appliance discharge valve. Tank installs anywhere in-line on the discharge side of the pump. Fasten hose to inlet/outlet fittings securely with hose clamps. Failure to do so may result in flooding and /or equipment damage. Restore water supply, then restore power supply. Allow water to flow through the pump and out the final discharge point in order to eliminate air from the system. The tank may be mounted in any position. To remove the tank from the system, always disconnect the power source to the pump, and open a faucet or appliance to safely vent water under pressure.
