• Pipe joints will leak
• Vibration can loosen bolts on pump
resulting in leaks.
• Vibration noise may rattle the pipes.
• Check Valves may close piping system.
Result n pressure build-up. See the thermo-
expansion tank diagram below.

1. Mount pump securely on a stable surface
that is level and snug it down but not too
tight.

• Pump systems usually have a check valve
to prevent reverse flow.
• An expansion tank can be installed to
prevent overpressure.
• When cold water heats up it expands.
The expansion tank will balance the system.
• The expansion tank allows the system to
relieve pressure, which alleviates the stress
on the pump and piping.
• Follow the diagram when installing an
expansion tank to maintain the integrity of
your plumbing system.
