5. Ўстаноўка
5.1 Праверкі перад устаноўкай
- Ensure the accumulator tank is suitable for your system's pressure requirements.
- Verify that the pre-charge pressure is set to 10 PSI (0.7 BAR). Adjust if necessary using a standard tire pressure gauge and pump.
- Gather necessary tools and additional fittings (e.g., thread sealant, wrenches).
5.2 Мантаж
The SEAFLO accumulator tank can be mounted in any position (vertical, horizontal, or inverted) due to its internal bladder design. Choose a location that is easily accessible for inspection and maintenance, and close to the water pump for optimal performance. Use the integrated mounting brackets and soft rubber mounts to secure the tank, which also help reduce noise and vibrations.

5.3 Сантэхнічныя злучэнні
- Install the accumulator tank on the discharge side of your water pump, before any fixtures or appliances.
- The tank features 1/2" MNPT inlet/outlet ports. Apply appropriate thread sealant to all connections.
- Connect the water lines securely. The product includes two 1/2" fittings.
- Ensure there are no kinks or restrictions in the plumbing lines leading to and from the tank.

6. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі
Once installed, the SEAFLO accumulator tank operates automatically with your water pump system. When water is drawn from the system, the pre-charged bladder in the tank expands, pushing water out and delaying the pump's activation. This reduces the number of times the pump turns on and off, leading to a quieter system and extended pump life. When the pressure drops below the pump's cut-in pressure, the pump will activate to refill the system and the accumulator tank.

7. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне
The SEAFLO accumulator tank features a maintenance-free internal bladder. This design prevents waterlogging and eliminates the need for regular upkeep of the bladder itself.
However, it is recommended to periodically check the air pre-charge pressure using a standard tire pressure gauge. The factory pre-charge is 10 PSI (0.7 BAR). If the pressure drops, recharge the tank using a bicycle pump or air compressor to the recommended pressure. This ensures optimal performance and efficiency of your water system.

8. Выпраўленне непаладак
| праблема | Магчымая прычына | Рашэнне |
|---|---|---|
| Занадта часта цыклы помпаў | Low air pre-charge in tank | Check and adjust air pressure to 10 PSI (0.7 BAR). |
| Waterlogging in tank | Drain system, check air pressure, and refill. If problem persists, inspect bladder for damage. | |
| Inconsistent water flow / Pulsation | Low air pre-charge | Check and adjust air pressure to 10 PSI (0.7 BAR). |
| Air in water lines | Bleed air from the water system by opening all faucets until water flows smoothly. | |
| Уцечкі вады з злучэнняў | Loose fittings or insufficient sealant | Tighten all connections and reapply thread sealant if necessary. |
