WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause death, serious bodily injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual for further assistance.
WARNING
This water tank is designed and intended for cold (ambient
temperature) water storage at a maximum pressure of 125 PSIG,
any use other than with cold water, or at a sustained or
instantaneous pressure in excess of 125 PSIG is unsafe. A
pressure relief valve of adequate size must be incorporated in the
system. The relief valve must be selected to pass the full capacity
of the pump when the pressure in this tank is 125 PSIG or less.
Consult pump manufacturer for pump capacity at relief pressure.
The manufacturer of this tank does not accept any liability or other
responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting
from improper use, installation, or operation of this tank, or of the
system of which it is a part.
DANGER
Failure to follow these instructions can cause tank to blow-up
and result in death, serious bodily injury or property damage.
Install a 125 PSI or less pressure relief valve directly into a
tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches above,
contact is made with any live electrical part. The discharge
opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any
circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet, or use of more
than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge
capacity of the valve.
No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief
valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge
drain unless a 6” air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury,
hazard to life, or property damage, the relief valve must be allowed
to discharge water in quantities should circumstances demand.
If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable

pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe.
WARNING
Review the Installation Check List before turning on electric
power to safeguard against possible dangerous malfunction of
the pump tank.
WARNING
The complete pump, tank, pressure relief valve, pressure switch
and piping system MUST be protected against below freezing
temperature. Failure to do so could cause tank to blow-up and
result in death, serious bodily injury or property damage.
