Pump Information

Pressure Tank:

The pressure tank is made from PVC pipe and does two things.

  1. It smooths out the pressure wave of the water hammer.
  2. It helps provide a cushion volume of water so that the pump does not stop when you open the delivery valve.

Drive Pipe and Delivery Pipe:

    

Both the Drive pipe end and Delivery pipe end are installed with PVC unions and ball valves. The Ball valve allows for turning the water on and off. The unions allows the pump to be disconnected from the drive pipe and delivery pipe.  The Drive pipe side of the pump needs to match the size of the waste valve. The delivery pipe can be any size as long as its large enough to pass the water without much friction loss.

Waste Valve:

The waste valve is a Lead Free Brass Swing Valve. This valve hangs open when there is no pressure behind it. Once the pressure wave hits the valve it will cause it to close with force. This is the main component that will wear down over time.

PVC Spring Valve:

The Spring Valve is in-line with the pump and is what keeps the pressure inside the pressure tank.

Pump Assembly:

   

The pressure tank is installed on the pipe raiser with teflon tape on the opposite side of the waste valve.
