PUMP

1. Check ValveLocated at the top of the pump to prevent back flow into pumpand hold the head of water in the system.

2. Torque ArrestorInstalled directly above Submersible Pump to protect pump andwell components from starting torque damage.

3. Safety RopeA safety line from the top of the well to the pump.

4. Pitless AdapterProvides a watertight sanitary removable connection betweenpump and house. Installed in casing below the frost line toprevent freezing.

5. Watertight Well CapProvides a watertight seal when its inner gasket compresses tooutside diameter of casing. Top of cap removes easily to accesswell for service.

6. Well SealProvides a positive seal inside casing in above-ground installations.

7. Check ValveInstalled near the tank inlet to hold water in the tank duringpump installation when the pump is idle.

8. Tank TeeConnets water line from pump to pressure tank and service linefrom tank to house. Taps are provided to accept Pressure Switch,Pressure Gauge, Drain Valve, Relief Valve, Sniffer Valve, etc.

9. Drain ValveDrain easy draining of the system.

10. Relief ValveProtects against pressure build-up. Should be used on any systemwhere the pump could develop pressure that exceeds the maximumsystem rating.

11. Pressure GaugeMeasures water pressure in Pressure Tank.

12. Pressure SwitchSignals the pump to start when the water systemdrops to a pre-set low pressure, and to stop whenthe high-pressure mark is reached.

13. Safety SwitchFor electric control and distribution to the pump.

14. Pump SaverAdjustable, solid control monitors system loadconditions to protect pump motor from dry well flowloss, rapid cycling, slow recovery, air lock and lockedrotor problems.

15. Lightning ArrestorProtects pump motor and controls from voltagesurges caused by lightning, switching loads andpower line interference.

16. Ball ValveActs as a shutoff valve on the supply line from tankto house.
