2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite
Always observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury or property damage. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
- Sekirite elektrik: Ensure all electrical connections to the pump and pressure switch are made by a qualified electrician and comply with local codes. Disconnect power before servicing.
- Sekirite anba presyon: Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tank. Always relieve system pressure before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
- Enstalasyon: Install the tank on a level, stable surface capable of supporting its full weight when filled with water.
- Kalite dlo: This tank is designed for use with potable water. Do not use with flammable liquids or chemicals.
- Timoun ak bèt kay: Keep children and pets away from the pressure tank and associated plumbing.
- Tanperati: Do not install the tank in an area where it may be exposed to freezing temperatures.
3. Enstalasyon ak Enstalasyon
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your pressure tank. This tank is designed for easy integration into water systems using a jet pump or deep well submersible pump.
Chèk Pre-Enstalasyon
- Inspect the tank for any shipping damage.
- Ensure the installation location is dry, protected from freezing, and has adequate space for maintenance.
- Verify that the existing pump and pressure switch are compatible with the tank's specifications.
Air Precharge Adjustment
The tank comes precharged from the factory, but the air pressure must be adjusted to match your system's pressure switch settings before connecting to the water supply. Use an accurate pressure gauge to check and adjust the air pressure through the Schrader valve located on the tank.
- For a 20/40 PSI pressure switch: Adjust tank precharge to 18 psi.
- For a 30/50 PSI pressure switch: Adjust tank precharge to 28 psi.
Enpòtan: Always adjust the air precharge when the tank is empty of water.
Konekte tank la
- The tank features a 1-inch NPT connection on its stainless steel flange.
- Connect the tank to your water system's main line using appropriate plumbing fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Use thread sealant on all threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Secure the tank in its final position, ensuring it is stable and level.

4. Operasyon
Once installed and properly precharged, the BURCAM 600652SS pressure tank operates automatically in conjunction with your water pump and pressure switch to maintain consistent water pressure in your system.
Ki jan li fonksyone
- When the pump starts, it fills the tank with water, compressing the air in the bladder.
- As water is drawn from the system, the compressed air pushes the water out, providing a steady flow without the pump needing to run constantly.
- The pressure switch monitors the system pressure and turns the pump on when pressure drops to the cut-in setting and off when it reaches the cut-out setting.
Drawdown Capacity
The drawdown capacity refers to the amount of water the tank can deliver between pump cycles. This tank offers:
- 5 galon ameriken (with a 20/40 PSI pressure switch)
- 4 galon ameriken (with a 30/50 PSI pressure switch)
Understanding drawdown helps optimize pump cycling and extend pump life.
5. Antretyen
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your BURCAM pressure tank. The tank's design, featuring a synthetic butyl rubber bladder and stainless steel construction, minimizes maintenance needs.
Annual Air Pressure Check
- At least once a year, or if you notice frequent pump cycling, check the tank's air precharge.
- Pwosedi:
- Fèmen pouvwa ponp lan.
- Drain all water from the system by opening a faucet downstream from the tank.
- Use an accurate tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure at the Schrader valve.
- Add or release air as necessary to match the recommended precharge for your pressure switch (18 PSI for 20/40 PSI switch, 28 PSI for 30/50 PSI switch).
- Close the faucet, restore power to the pump, and allow the system to repressurize.
Enspeksyon
- Periodically inspect the tank for any signs of external damage, leaks, or corrosion. The stainless steel construction is designed to be rust-free.
- Check all plumbing connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
The replaceable bladder design contributes to the tank's long lifespan and ease of service, as there is no water-to-metal contact within the tank, preventing internal corrosion.
