Installation Considerations, Location | Amtrol WELL-X1, WELL-X-TROL

5. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

LOCATION

The Well-X1™is designed for indoor and outdoor installations. The NEMA 3R enclosure can be installed in direct weather. If installed outdoors, be sure the following conditions are met:

•Do not install where ambient temperatures can drop below freezing or exceed 120° F.

•Ensure a Tuf Kote™ model is selected (Example: WX1-302TK) for outdoor installations. This proprietary coating is specifically designed to withstand outdoor applications.

•Use water-tight: wiring conduit, wire nuts and conduit connections as dictated by applicable codes and ordinances.

•Protect the piping from mechanical damage.

•Install the relief valve blow down tube where venting water will not cause personal injury or damage the surrounding property.

•Drip Pan and Drain: To avoid leaking and/or property damage, install with a drip pan connected to an adequate working drain kept clear at all times.

ORIENTATION

Ensure the installation meets all applicable local codes and is installed by a qualified professional. Additionally, the following should be noted.

•This unit is designed for vertical installation above ground only.

Do not install horizontally or directly bury the unit. The Well- X1™ may be installed below grade in a well pit or other suitable enclosure. Do not locate in an area where leaking or flooding could cause property damage to surrounding areas.

•Check codes to determine if there are any height requirements pertaining to the Well-X1™. Particularly, ensure the bottom drain meets these requirements. If restrictions are imposed on the proximity of drain connections to the floor, the unit may be elevated on blocks or the bottom drain tube can be removed and plugged, after which a sampling tap may be installed in the water lines near the top of the Well-X1™.

WELL-X1, WELL-X-TROL specifications

Amtrol's WELL-X1 and WELL-X-TROL series are advanced water storage and pressure tanks designed specifically for residential and commercial well water systems. These tanks are engineered to improve efficiency and reliability in water supply while providing a robust solution for various water needs.

One of the standout features of the WELL-X1 and WELL-X-TROL tanks is their unique diaphragm design. Unlike other tanks that rely on air pressure for water delivery, these tanks use an internal diaphragm that separates the water chamber from the air chamber. This design minimizes the risk of waterlogging, which can lead to decreased efficiency. With a constant supply of pressurized water, users experience more stable water pressure and less frequent pump cycling, ultimately extending the lifespan of the pump system.

Another key characteristic is the tanks’ construction. Both the WELL-X1 and WELL-X-TROL are made from high-quality, heavy-duty steel that is coated with a corrosion-resistant finish. This ensures durability and extends the tanks' lifespan, making them an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor installations. Additionally, their rolled and welded construction enhances strength, ensuring that they can withstand the rigors of continuous water storage.

The WELL-X-TROL series features an integrated pressure switch, allowing for straightforward installation and added convenience. This smart design makes it easier for homeowners to manage their well system without needing extensive modifications or adjustments. Furthermore, the tanks are available in various sizes, ranging from smaller units suitable for individual homes to larger models capable of supporting multi-family dwellings or commercial applications.

In terms of performance, the WELL-X1 and WELL-X-TROL tanks excel in maintaining optimal water pressure and reducing energy consumption. This is achieved through their innovative design that minimizes cycles, allowing the pump to operate less frequently while still delivering consistent water pressure. This efficiency not only saves homeowners money on energy bills but also minimizes wear on the pump system, resulting in fewer maintenance issues.

Overall, Amtrol's WELL-X1 and WELL-X-TROL tanks represent a significant advancement in water storage technology. Their superior construction, reliable diaphragm design, and focus on energy efficiency make them a top choice for anyone seeking a dependable solution for their well water system. Whether for residential or commercial use, these tanks offer exceptional performance and peace of mind for water management.
