General Information 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
All tanks are factory pre-charged with air to 40
pounds per square inch (PSI). When installing tank,
reduce pre-charge to 2 PSI below pump cut-in pres-
sure setting. To do this, bleed air from valve on top
of tank.
NOTICE: Always set pre-charge with NO WATER in
tank.
Check pressure frequently with an accurate tire
pressure gauge until correct pressure has been
reached. For correct pre-charge pressure settings,
see Chart 1, below.
CHART I
NOTICE: Replace and tighten air valve cap if it is
removed for any reason. Failure to replace air cap
may allow loss of air pressure and eventually lead
to tank waterlogging and bladder failure.
Pre-charged storage tanks can be connected togeth-
er to increase the supply of usable water (draw-
down). Two tanks of the same size will double the
supply and three tanks will triple the supply. See
Figures No. 1A and 1B for typical installations of
this kind.
OPERATING CYCLE
1. Tank nearly empty – air expands filling area
above vinyl bladder
(Fig. 2A).
2. Water begins to enter tank – air is compressed
above bladder as it fills with water (Fig. 2B).
3. Pump-up cycle completed – air now com-
pressed to cut off setting of pressure switch (Fig.
2C).
4. Water being drawn from tank – compressed
tank air forces water out of bladder (Fig. 2D).
5. Bladder completely empty – new cycle ready to
begin (Fig. 2A).

Installation 4
Connect system pipe to tank flange. Use plastic or
steel pipe as required. To prevent leaks, use Teflon
tape or Plasto-Joint Stik1on male threads of all
threaded connections to tank.
NOTICE: To be sure that joint is not cross-threaded
and that threads are clean, always make connec-
tions by hand (without sealer) first. After making
sure that threads are clean, remove pipe, add Teflon
tape or Plasto-Joint Stik, and remake connection.
Tighten by hand first; finish with pipe wrench for
tight seal.
NOTICE: When replacing a standard tank in a sub-
mersible pump system, raise pump and discharge
pipe far enough to remove bleeder orifices in dis-
charge pipe and plug tees. When replacing a stan-
dard tank in a jet pump system, remove Air Volume
Control (AVC) and plug AVC port in pump.
In areas where the temperature is high for long
periods of time, the tank pre-charge pressure may
increase. This may reduce the tank drawdown
(amount of water available per cycle). If this occurs,
reduce the pre-charge pressure to two PSI below
the pump cut-in setting of the pressure switch.
It is necessary to flush all air out of the piping sys-
tem and water reservoir portion of the pre-charged
tank. This is required on new installations, pumps
requiring repriming and pumps that have been dis-
assembled for service. Do this as follows:
1. Open faucets furthest from tank and allow
pump to operate.
2. Air in the system will cause a sputtering flow;
allow faucets to run until you have a steady, air
free stream.
3. Open and close faucets repeatedly until you are
sure all air has been removed.
4. If stream does not become steady, air may be
leaking into the system; check for leaks in the
piping on the suction side of the pump.
1Lake Chemical Co., Chicago, Illinois
TO CHECK TANK AIR CHARGE
If drawdown (amount of water that comes out of
tank per pump cycle) decreases significantly, check
as follows:
1. To check air charge in tank, shut off electric
power to pump, open faucet near tank, and
drain completely.
2. At the air valve in top of tank, check air pres-
sure with a standard tire gauge. Air pressure
should be 2 PSI below pump pressure switch
cut-in setting.
3. If the air pressure is more than 2 PSI below the
cut-in setting, add air to the tank. Use an air
compressor or a portable air storage tank.
4. Use soap or liquid detergent to check for air
leaks around air valve. Continuous bubbling
indicates a leak. If necessary, install new core in
air valve. This is the same as those used for
automobile tubeless tires.
TO CHECK PUMP PRESSURE
SWITCH SETTING
1. To check pressure switch setting, disconnect
power to pump at supply panel (but be sure to
leave pressure switch connected to power sup-
ply wires).
2. Remove pressure switch cover.
3. Open a faucet near tank.
4. Bleed pressure down until pressure switch con-
tacts close; immediately close faucet.
5. Check pressure at valve with standard tire
gauge or with pump pressure gauge (if sup-
plied).
6. Pressure gauge should read 2 PSI below pump
cut-in setting (28 PSI for 30-50 switch, 18 PSI
for 20-40 switch, etc.) If not:
A. Adjust switch according to switch manufac-
turer’s instructions.

B. Reconnect power supply to pump and pump
up pressure in system.
C. Disconnect power supply to pump again and
re-check switch setting.
D. Repeat until pressure switch starts pump
within ±1 PSI of proper setting.
E. If cut-in setting is too low, system will rattle
or develop water hammer when pump starts.
F. Cut-out setting is not as critical as cut-in set-
ting. Make sure that pump will stop running
in a reasonable time. If it does not, cut-out
setting may need to be adjusted down slight-
ly. Be sure that after readjustment, system
does not rattle or hammer on startup.
7. Re-check tank air pre-charge to be sure it is 2
PSI below pump pressure switch cut-in setting
(see Page 3).
TESTING FOR BLADDER
LEAKAGE
1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Drain all water from tank bladder by opening
faucet closest to tank.
3. Remove valve cap from valve and release all
pressure possible by depressing valve core.
When air stops coming from valve, remove
valve core to release remaining pressure.
4. Disconnect piping from elbow on tank flange.
5. Carefully turn tank upside down or lay it on its
side.
Retained water in tank may
cause sudden weight shift when lowering.
Support tank so that it cannot fall when being
lowered or inverted.
6. If bladder leaks, water will run out of valve. If
so, replace bladder.
BLADDER REPLACEMENT
To be sure cover flange cannot blow
off of tank, release all air from system before re-
moving nuts from cover flange.
1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Follow steps 2 through 5 under “Testing For
Bladder Leakage”, above.
3. Remove nuts from tank cover flange. Tap cover
flange to break seal and remove.
4. Bladder will not come out in one piece. Hold
bladder with pliers and cut wherever conve-
nient with single edge razor blade or sharp
knife. Continue holding and cutting until blad-
der is removed.
5. Clean and dry inside of tank.
6. Before bladder can be inserted into tank, it must
be tightly rolled up as follows:
A. Place bladder on clean surface with opening
to one end and flatten to force air out. Pull
ends out flat (see Figure 3).
B. To get tightest possible wrap, start on one
side at top and TIGHTLY roll bladder diago-
nally to other side (see Figure 4). To force out
as much air as possible, be sure to roll
toward bladder neck opening.
7. To help insert bladder, sprinkle outside of it
with talcum powder. With tank on its side, push
tightly rolled bladder into tank, hooking bladder
neck ring over edge of tank head.
8. Insert arm in bladder and push sidewalls out-
ward. It is not necessary to remove all wrinkles
from bladder.
NOTICE: Don’t push bladder into tank further
than its own length. In a large tank, bladder can
slip out of reach if pushed too far.
9. Clean tank head sealing surface and lip ring
groove of cover flange.
10. Pull lip ring of bladder through tank opening
and seat it against tank head.
11. Clean sealing surface and groove of cover
flange; place on tank (see Figure 5).

12. NOTICE: Tighten nuts as follows:
A. Hand tighten all nuts.
B. Tighten one nut snug.
C. Tighten opposite nut snug.
D. Proceed, tightening opposite pairs of nuts to
a snug fit.
E. Recheck all nuts, using same pattern. Be sure
all nuts are tight and that you have a good
seal.
NOTICE: Do not overtighten; you may twist
studs off of tank. If you have a torque
wrench, tighten to 85 inch-pounds torque.
13. Stand tank on feet and reconnect piping.
14. Recharge tank to proper air pressure (see Page
4).
15. Prime pump (see pump owner’s manual).
AIR VALVE REPLACEMENT
Hazardous Pressure. To be sure air
valve and core cannot blow out of tank, release all
air pressure from tank before removing valve core
or valve.
1. Disconnect power to pump.
2. Drain ALL water in system by opening faucet
closest to tank.
3. Depress valve core to release ALL air pressure
in tank. When air stops coming out of valve,
remove core from inside of valve to release
remaining pressure.
4. Push air valve back into tank. Be sure to
remove it before reassembling tank.
5. Disconnect piping from tank and turn it on its
side.
6. Remove flange from tank.
7. Push bladder into tank far enough so that you
can get into tank with a dowel rod.
8. Soap the outside of the new valve and mount it
on the end of a piece of 1/4” or 5/16” dowel
rod. Push the valve up past the bladder into its
mounting hole in the top of the tank. Push it
through as far as it will conveniently go; leave
the valve cap on to protect the threads on the
valve.
9. Rap the end of the dowel sharply with a ham-
mer to drive the valve into position. Be sure the
shoulder on the valve seats against the tank
head (the ridge around the valve body should
be all the way through the hole in the tank
head – see Figure 6).
10. Remove the dowel. Make sure the old valve has
been removed from the tank, pull bladder back
over rim of hole in lower tank head, reinstall
flange, stand tank upright and reconnect piping.
11. Recharge tank (see Page 4), turn on power, fill
system, and tank is ready for service.
