3. Configuració i instal·lació

Installation of a pressure tank should ideally be performed by a qualified plumber or technician. Incorrect installation can lead to system malfunction or damage.

Passos generals d'instal·lació:

  1. Ubicació: Select a suitable location for the tank, ensuring it is protected from freezing temperatures and has adequate space for maintenance. The location should be level and capable of supporting the weight of the tank when full.
  2. Preparació del sistema: Turn off the main water supply and disconnect power to the pump. Drain the existing water system completely.
  3. Comprovació de la pressió de precàrrega: Verify the tank's pre-charge air pressure using an air pressure gauge. The pre-charge pressure should typically be set 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure. Adjust if necessary using a standard air pump.
  4. Connexions de fontaneria: Connect the tank to the water system plumbing using appropriate fittings and sealants. Ensure all connections are watertight.
  5. Emplenament del sistema: Slowly open the main water supply to fill the system and the tank. Bleed air from the system as it fills.
  6. Restauració d'energia: Once the system is full and all air is bled, restore power to the pump. Monitor the system for proper operation and check for leaks.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

The PROFLO PFX62S pump tank operates automatically as part of your water pressure system. It stores water under pressure, reducing pump cycling and providing a reserve of water.

  • The pump will activate when the system pressure drops to the cut-in pressure, filling the tank and system.
  • The pump will deactivate when the system pressure reaches the cut-out pressure.
  • Water drawn from the system will initially come from the tank, delaying the pump's activation and extending its lifespan.
  • Regularly observe the pump's cycling frequency. Excessive cycling may indicate an issue with the tank's pre-charge or a leak in the system.

5. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your PROFLO PFX62S pump tank.

    2. Drain the system completely by opening a faucet.
    3. Check the tank's air pre-charge pressure using a tire gauge on the air valve at the top of the tank.
    4. Adjust the air pressure to 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure. Use an air compressor or bicycle pump if adjustment is needed.
    5. Tanqueu l'aixeta, restableix l'alimentació de la bomba i deixa que el sistema es repressuritzi.
