Storage Tank:
The storage tank holds up to 3.2 gallons of product water. A bladder within the tank keeps water under pres-
sure and away from bare metal. The tank has an air pre-charge of 5-7 psi (without water) from the factory.
Storage Tank Preparation: Locate the following:
plastic tank stand, tank valve, 1/4” male threads at top of tank, and the air pressure valve at bottom of tank
Step 1: Air pressure valve seats into tank stand when tank is in upright position. Place tank on stand.
Note:
Tank may be placed on its side, if necessary. Use tank stand to prevent rolling.
Step 2: Using Teflon tape (not included) wrap 1/4” male threads on storage tank using clockwise
motion for at least three revolutions.
Step 3: Install tank valve on storage tank. Do this by hand tightening valve clockwise onto male
threads of the storage tank. There is no need to overtigthen
