Water Worker HT14HB Blue Pre-Charged Horizontal Pump Tank 14Gallon

Water worker well tank horizontal pre-charged series: HT-14HB 14 gal capacity 21 in diameter 16 in height 1 in connection MNPT connection steel 100 psi 200 deg F nsf approved 30 gal equivalency for residential. Horizontal tank. Designed to keep pump starts to a minimum. Increases pump life and saves energy. Outer steel shell is the air container; inner aqua cell is a butyl diaphragm and polypropylene liner. This separates air from water preventing corrosion and bacterial growth-in compliance with FDA regulations. U.S.A. The WaterWorker pre-charged tanks utilize a butyl composite diaphragm which flexes up and down based on water level and air pressure as the pump fills the tank with water the air above the diaphragm is compressed increasing the pressure in the tank until the pump cut-off pressure is reached. When water is drawn from the tank the pressure inside the tank decreases until the pressure switch starts the pump. The amount of usable water for every pump cycles is called drawdown. The greater drawn-down capacity you select the less your pump cycles saving energy money and extending your pump life. Advantages over galvanized well tanks: Pre-charged tanks do not have water-logging problems like the galvanized tanks. The air and water are totally separated using a diaphragm. No external air controls needed. Pre-charged tanks have a much larger draw-down for the same physical size. Larger draw down reduces pump cycles and pump wear i.e. at 30/50 PSIG range three times the draw-down for pre-charged tanks of the same physical size. Pre-charged Tanks completely empty during each pump cycle. Pre-charged Tanks are much smaller and easier to handle that galvanized well tanks. Pre-charged tanks with a 30/50 Pressure Switch would be one-third the size of a galvanized tank with the same drawdown. Deep Well Jet Pumps could use either a vertical tank or a horizontal tank depending on space requirements and sizing. Submersible Pump applications would usually use vertical tanks again based on proper sizing. Shallow Well Jet Pumps could use vertical or horizontal tanks based on proper sizing. The rule of thumb in sizing is to count the number of fixtures in the home i.e. sinks showers toilets dishwasher faucets washing machines outside faucets etc. and multiply it by 3. Example: a house with 11 fixtures x 3 would be 33-Gallon tank.

• Designed to meet the requirements of and are listed by the National Sanitation Foundation NSF under ANSI/NSF Std 61
• The Butyl diaphragm has seamless construction and is designed to flex rather than stretch and crease like bladder tanks
• The polypropylene liner for the water reservoir will not flake chip crack or peel and does not impart taste and odor to the water
• Diaphragm liner isolate water from contact with deep drawn steel domed shell – twice as strong as rolled steel shell of same thickness
• A high gloss enamel finish protects tank from the elements
• Pre-charged to 25psi: please refer to product manual for proper pre-charge setting
