ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

When this manual refers to a part number, it refers to the included Parts

Identification section.

1. If a tank in an existing system is being replaced,

make sure that the electrical input to the pump’s

electrical control panel is disconnected.

2. Take the tank out of its package, remove the

protection cap (6) from the air valve and then check

the preloading pressure. Make sure that this

pressure is slightly less than the pressure-switch

triggering pressure and adding or removing air as

required and then screw the protection cap back on.

3. Position the tank as close as possible to the pressure-

switch in order to avoid pressure losses due to friction.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the most frequent types

of installation.

4. Connect the tank to the pump outlet point. Make sure to

always respect all local installation regulations.

5. We recommend installing a safety valve set to the

system’s maximum working pressure.

6. Restore the power supply to the pump control panel

only after completing the installation of the tank.

7. Fill the system again by starting up the pump

until the pressure-switch shuts the pump

off automatically.

8. Open and close the tap furthest from the tank

repeatedly in order to eliminate all the air inside

the tubing.

9. Open one or more taps in order to empty the tank, if a pause is observed

between the emptying of the tank and the starting of the pump, the

pressure-switch triggering pressure must be slightly increased or the

tank pre-loading pressure must be decreased by proceeding as described

in point 2.

10. Repeat points 7, 8 and 9 until the pause is completely eliminated.

11. Check all the connections and make sure that there are no leakage of water.

12. If the operations in the points above perfectly executed, the system should

now be ready for operation.

13. Regularly check the tank pre-loading pressure during the use of the system

and top up whenever required.
