Questions and Answers for Water Source Plastic Shallow Well Air Volume Control

A:  RMC, this item is also 1-1/4 inch, so this should work for your application.

A:  Yes this will work for your application.

A:  Thanks for contacting the Everbilt Team. Loosening the lock nut and turning the center adjusting screw counter-clockwise (backing the screw out, or to the left) will increase the amount of air vented from the tank or the rate at which it is vented until rising water level in the tank closes the valve. The result will be less air in the water pressure tank - which you want basically and only if excess air is blowing out of the home faucets. If your well pump is short cycling (meaning you want more air in the pressure tank) you want to turn the screw clockwise (to the right, or "in") This will decrease the amount of air vented from the tank at each pump cycle, increasing the air volume in the pressure tank.

A:  It is related to the galvanized tank rating which is normally no more than 100PSI.

A:  A shallow well is a well where water is reached before 25 feet and this you can only suck water from this level. A deep well is a pump that drives water down to push water up. It can pull from a level of 70-100 feet. Submersible pumps can pull from much deeper areas. Again where you hit water. “Static” is what determines the pumps needed.

A:  Cap it off.

A:  Thank you for the question. Yes there is a 1/4 in. connection on the top of the AV56 to allow for the installation of a pressure gauge. Please be sure to use thread tape on on that connection to prevent leaks.
