4. Konfiguracja i instalacja

4.1. Kontrole przed instalacją

• Inspect the tank for any signs of shipping damage. Do not install a damaged tank.
• Verify that the model number (PWB-20LH) matches your requirements.
• Ensure the installation site is suitable, providing adequate space for maintenance and protection from environmental extremes.

4.2. Kroki instalacji

1. Lokalizacja: Choose a location that is dry, protected from freezing, and easily accessible for service. The tank must be installed horizontally.
2. Montowanie: Secure the tank firmly to a stable surface using appropriate mounting hardware.
3. Połączenie: Connect the tank to the water system using the patented stainless steel water connection. Use appropriate plumbing fittings and sealants to ensure leak-free connections.
4. Pre-charge Check: Before filling the system, verify the tank's air pre-charge pressure. The factory pre-charge is 1.9 bar (28 psi). Adjust if necessary to match your system's cut-in pressure.
5. Test szczelności: After installation, slowly fill the system with water and check all connections for leaks.

5. Instrukcja obsługi

5.1. Pierwsze uruchomienie

1. Upewnij się, że wszystkie połączenia są pewne i wolne od wycieków.
2. Slowly open the main water supply valve to fill the system.
3. Bleed air from the system by opening faucets until water flows smoothly.
4. Activate the pump (if applicable) and allow the system to reach its operating pressure.
5. Verify that the pump cycles correctly and the pressure tank is functioning as expected.

5.2. Normalna praca

Once installed and started, the pressure tank operates automatically, maintaining system pressure and reducing pump cycling. Monitor your system's pressure gauge periodically to ensure it operates within the expected range.

6. Konserwacja

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your GLOBAL WATER PWB-20LH pressure tank.

• Annual Air Pre-charge Check: At least once a year, check the air pre-charge pressure. Depressurize the system completely before checking the air valve. The recommended pre-charge is 1.9 bar (28 psi). Adjust with an air pump if necessary.
• Kontrola wizualna: Periodically inspect the tank for any signs of corrosion, leaks, or physical damage.
• Integralność połączenia: Check all plumbing connections for tightness and signs of leaks.
• Czyszczenie: Keep the exterior of the tank clean and free from debris.

7. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pressure tank.

• Częste cykle pompowania: This often indicates a low air pre-charge in the tank or a waterlogged tank. Depressurize the system and check the air pre-charge. If water comes out of the air valve, the diaphragm may be compromised, requiring tank replacement.
• Niskie ciśnienie w układzie: Check the pump operation, system leaks, and ensure the tank's pre-charge is correct.
• Wyciek wody ze zbiornika: Immediately depressurize the system and identify the source of the leak. If the tank shell is leaking, the tank must be replaced. If from connections, tighten or reseal.
• Brak przepływu wody: This is typically a pump issue or a severe system blockage, not directly related to the pressure tank itself.
