Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AMTROL from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between AMTROL Champion and Well-X-Trol series tanks?
The Champion series is designed for residential applications and is not ASME rated, with precharge pressures of 38 psi and capacities from 20 to 119 gallons. The Well-X-Trol series is ASME Section VIII Division 1 certified, suitable for commercial installations, with precharge pressures of 25 psi and capacities such as 34 and 211 gallons. The Well-X-Trol tanks are built to meet code requirements for pressure vessels in commercial water systems.
Are AMTROL well water tanks suitable for use with submersible pumps?
Yes, AMTROL well water tanks are compatible with submersible pumps. The tanks use a pre-pressurized air cushion and a butyl rubber diaphragm to separate water from air, which helps maintain consistent pressure and reduces pump cycling. They are designed for use in well water systems with standard pump controls.
What is the precharge pressure on AMTROL Champion tanks, and how is it adjusted?
AMTROL Champion tanks come precharged at 38 psi from the factory. The precharge pressure can be adjusted using a standard tire valve located on the tank. It should be set to 2 psi below the pump cut-in pressure for optimal performance. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for your specific pump system.
Do AMTROL Well-X-Trol tanks require ASME certification for commercial use?
Yes, for commercial installations where local codes require ASME certification, the Well-X-Trol series is designed to meet ASME Section VIII Division 1 standards. These tanks are stamped with the ASME code symbol and are suitable for applications such as commercial water systems, booster pumps, and pressure control in buildings.
Can AMTROL tanks be installed horizontally?
Yes, AMTROL offers horizontal tank configurations, such as the Champion CH-14PS model with a 14-gallon capacity and integrated pump stand. Horizontal tanks are useful in spaces with limited vertical clearance. Ensure the tank is installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines for proper operation and drainage.
