Steel Pressurized Tanks

FEATURES

Heavy Gauge Metal Construction –

Sturdy “welded wrapper and head
design.” Built to last.

Polyester Paint Finish – Electro­statically powder painted, then
oven baked for a smooth high-gloss,
appliance-quality finish. Resists
corrosion.

Elongated, Seamless
Water Cell –

– Controlled 2-dimensional cell

expansion.

– Rugged, seamless “water cell”

prevents the most common cause
of pump failure – “waterlogging.”

– Water never touches the steel tank

material.

– Translucent bag material facilitates

manufacturing quality control
inspection.

Composite Sealing Flange –
– Corrosion-resistant.

– Integral o-ring groove better traps

the water cell’s sealing ring.

– Reinforcing ribs strengthen and

maintain a flat smooth sealing
surface.

Integral Stand Pipe – Keeps the
water cell standing erect, promoting
complete flushing of the water
entering/exiting the tank.

Nitrogen-Rich Precharge –

Decreases air permeation three to
four times over straight air precharge.

40 PSI Precharge – Ready for use
with 40/60 pressure range systems.
Enables installer to reduce pressure
depending on pressure switch setting.

Sturdy Base – Tested-tough
composite construction.

TANK SIZING RULE:

™

Size tank for one gallon
of drawdown for each
gallon per minute at
pump capacity.

EXAMPLE: For a 1 HP, 20 GPM

unit pumping 20 gallons per
minute on a 30-50 pressure
switch setting, the properly
sized PRO-Source™ tank
is a PS85-T52 which has a
26 gallon drawdown.

of the system, accuracy of the pressure switch and
gauge, the actual precharge pressure, and rate of fill.

Pumps installed with a PRO-Source™ tank require a
100 PSI relief valve. Relief valve must be capable of
relieving entire flow of pump at relief pressure.

* Utilize this chart if proper selection cannot be made using

Chart A. Drawdown based on Boyle’s Law.

Procedure: 1. Identify drawdown multiplier relating to specific application.

2. Insert multiplier (X) into the following formula:
Pump GPM x Min Run Time

Multiplier (X)

Example: An example of a 20 GPM pump with a minimum run time of

20 GPM x 1 minute =
.24 (factor) from Chart B

Referring to “Ordering Information” chart, the model PS85-T52 has the
closest U.S. gal lon capacity that is greater or equal to the minimum volume
requirement of 83.3 U.S. gallons.
