Pressure Relief Valve Operation
The pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least
once a year. Failure to install and maintain a new properly listed
pressure relief valve could result in serious personal injury, death
or property damage.
WARNING
When checking the pressure relief valve; make sure that the
water manually discharged will not cause any property damage.
If after manually operating the valve it fails to completely reset
and continues to release water, immediately shut off the pump
and open a cold water faucet to drain the water out of the pump
tank and piping. Then replace the pressure relief valve with a new
one (rated at 125 PSI max.).
Turn on electricity to pump and shut off the cold water faucet

Anode Rod Inspection
Property Damage Hazard
 Avoid Pump Tank damage
 Inspection and replacement of anode rod required
CAUTION
Each pump tank contains dual anode rods, which will slowly
deplete (due to electrolysis) prolonging the life of the pump tank
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
by protecting the glass-lined tank from corrosion. Adverse water
quality and water softening methods can increase the rate of
anode rod depletion. Once the anode rod is depleted, the tank
will start to corrode, eventually developing a leak.

The use of a water softener may decrease the life of the tank.
The anode rod should be inspected after a maximum of three
years and annually thereafter until the condition of the anode

The following are typical (but not all) signs of a depleted anode rod:
* The majority of the rods diameter is less than 3/8”.

If the anode rod show signs of either or both it should be replaced.
NOTE: Whether re-installing or replacing the anode rod, check for
any leaks and immediately correct if found.
In replacing the anode:
1. Shut off pump and the water supply and open a nearby hot
water faucet to depressurize the water tank.
2. Remove old anode rod.
