aqua air v100 pressure tank online manual

With the pump unplugged, open the tank drain wide open. When the pressure is too low, the full capacity of the tank is not used and the pump runs on a very short cycle which means very frequent starts and stops - and that is bad for the pump. It takes some trial an error and wastes a lot of water, but it puts the pressure exactly where in should be. There is an empirical way to set the pressure without any gauges. >I checked the pressure with the pump unplugged and and drained and its only about 5 lbs. If you have a working gauge on the water system this also helps a lot. Usually this is 22 psi lower than the pressure when fully pumped up. That's the pressure at which the turns on minus 2 psi. Set it to 2 psi less than the CUT-IN pressure of the water pump. I checked the pressure with the pump unplugged and and drained and its only about 5 lbs.I do not want to just start putting air in without gettig advice because i don't want to break the bladder.Also one more question,Does the pump need to be completely level to work properly.Right now the pump is sitting on a stack of 8' cinder blocks about the hieght of the tank, and turned at about a 25 degree angle with the motor end pointing down, and the plastic pump housing pointing up.Thanks for all replies. I can not find anything pertaining to how much the pressure should be. The house belonged to my deceased brother, and we are fixing it up a little.I don't know what size in gallons it is, but i did get the dimensions of the tank.16' high X 15' diameter.It is a blue tank, and on the side i can read Aqua- Air Water Tank, and the name 'A O Smith'. Should there be in a blader type water tank.The tank is in a pump house with a 1/2 hp shallow well pump supplying the water.
