Observe the well pump's pressure gauge as the Well-X-Trol fills. The proper size hex-head screwdriver turns the adjustment bolts. The sensor's cut-out and cut-on switches usually use 1/4-, 5/15- or 3/8-inch hex-head adjustment bolts. The pressure sensor mounts to either the well pump or the water line between the well pump and the Well-X-Trol. Remove the well pump's pressure sensor cover, using the correct screwdriver. Set the Well-X-Trol's air valve cap on the air valve. If the Well-X-Trol tank's air pressure drops below 10 percent of the factory setting, add air to the tank with an air pump until the pressure reaches the factory setting. If the tank's air pressure exceeds the factory setting's limit, depress the air valve's needle valve for 10 seconds and retest. The gauge's reading must remain within 10 percent of the factory setting. Compare the air-pressure gauge's reading with the Well-X-Trol's stated air-pressure factory setting. This lists the factory's air-pressure setting and the tank's maximum water pressure.Ĭheck the air pressure in the Well-X-Trol tank with an air-pressure gauge. Polypropylene liner provides a 100% corrosion resistant, non-metallic rigid water reservoir that is listed by NSF® International Standard 61.Įxclusive welding process eliminates interior rough spots and sharp edges that can damage the diaphragm and liner.Įach finished tank is pressure tested for safety.Įach finished tank is pre-pressurized to the most common pump cut-in pressure.Įxterior appliance-like finish looks attractive while protecting the tank from the elements.Inspect the Well-X-Trol's identification label. Unique positive hoop ring seal secures diaphragm and liner for added strength and reliability. It also carries a tamper-evident warning label.ĭeep-drawn steel domes offer twice the strength of rolled steel while minimizing weight. Welded air valve is permanently attached rather than mechanically threaded to prevent loss of air pressure and to minimize stress on the well's pump system. Stainless-steel system connection withstands aggressive water Butyl is the best known elastomer to prevent air loss.ĭiaphragm design will not collapse or tear like bladder designs It conforms exactly to the shell configuration without stretching, creasing, or forming bubbles or corners that could trap water or sediment. Heavy duty butyl diaphragm is the thickest in the industry and features seamless construction for uniform strength and flexibility. Thick butyl rubber diaphragm offers the lowest permeability of any material used today and will not support bacterial growth Virgin polypropylene inner liner will not crack, chip, flake or peel The finest quality, custom mill steel is used in the deep drawn dome for extra strength while keeping tank weight to a minimum. The plated steel air valve is welded rather than threaded to prevent loss of air pressure. This totally integrated system outperforms other types of water chamber designs. The entire tank which includes the virgin polypropylene liner, butyl diaphragm, and acceptance fittings for a 100% corrosion resistant water reservoir is listed by NSF International Standard 61.Įxclusive butyl diaphragm, along with the 100% corrosion-proof virgin polypropylene liner, are secured by a positive hoop ring seal for added strength and reliability. The butyl diaphragm in all models meets EPA requirements for potable water as defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1986. With its sealed air charge and unique water chamber design, Well-X-Trol remains the choice of professionals. WELL-X-TROL redefined the industry in 1963 as the first pre-pressurized diaphragm well tank.
