All repressurization systems(except for the AIRaiderTM EZ95,433-S50 & 433-S50X) are sold separately. Proper repressurization system sizing is required to meet water flow needs. Consult manufacturer if assistance is needed for system selection.

Inordertodetermineavailablewaterflowratethefollowingisneeded:• GardenHose• Five-GallonBucket• AStopWatchorWatchwithaSecondHand

1. AttachgardenhosetothedrainconnectiononthebaseoftheWellPressureTank.

2. Openthedrainvalveandrunwaterfor15minutes.

3. After15minutes,checkthepressuregaugeonthewellsystem.Adjustthedrainvalve(openorclose)asneededtomaintaintherequiredrunningsystempressure(constantpressureongauge)withthewellpumprunningcontinuously.

Failure to install a proper vent line may cause contamination of the water, outgassing of contaminants into the building, and/or limit system performance.

* The Manufacturer has found that vent lines less than 250 equivalentlinear feet do not cause a decrease in contaminant removal percentages.90° Bend = 15 Equiv. Linear Ft ; 45° Bend = 7 Equiv. Linear Ft.

2.6 Install Air Filter

1. InstallairfilterprovidedusingthePVCpipeandfittingsprovided(Fig12).

2.6.1 Remote Air Intake (Fig. 11)If a Remote Air Intake is required because of Air Quality or Quantity issues then Use Only 1-¼” or larger Schedule 40 PVC or equivalent pipe for the air intake line.

1. Connectairintakelinetotheblowerusingtheproperreducercoupling.

2. Runtheintakelinefromthepipeconnectionontheblowertothelocationselectedforairintake.Note: A rubber coupling or similar means to disconnect the intake line from the is recommended.

3. ConnecttheAirFiltertotheventlineusingtheproperreducercoupling.

If the air intake is located outside, the filter or intake must be mounted high enough off the ground to prevent the drawing in of snow, water and other contaminants. Do not locate the air intake in the vicinity of vents from furnaces, barbecue grills, etc.Note: In-Line Air Filters are also available from the Manufacturer. Figure 12

5. AllowtheAIRaiderTMtofillwithwater.

6.

Do Not Attempt to Adjust the Pressure on 433-S50 or 433-S50X Systems, as this may result in the pump not shutting down as it attempts to reach too high a set pressure. This problem may not occur immediately but can occur later when a low voltage supply occurs due to high electrical demand or other external factors. The factory pressure setting is deliberately less than maximum to provide an allowance for a low voltage supply event. Continuous operation of the pump when there is no water demand will overheat the system causing the thermal overload to trip and consequent pump shut down.

Note: Priming process for the jet pump and pressure settings may vary with repressurization system.
