Is an air release valve or a combo air relief valve required between the pump and the pressure tank? Or is it required between the tank and the sediment filter? If so, how many? Where are they located? What type?
The pressure tank is 300-feet away from the pump and it is 9 feet below the pump level. Occasionally the pressure at the sediment filter is dropping to 0 (every few days) and no water in the house. However, once I release the air in the sediment filter through the filter valve the pressure will go up high and match the tank pressure. I have 40/60 square D switch and there is a check valve between the tank and the pump located at the tank. I also sometimes see milky water in the faucet. And searched and found that I probably have two much air in the system.
The system consists of pump, check valve, 52 gallon pressure tank, 22 micron sediment filter, Fleck 5600 SE softener, 5 Micron filter, 15GPM UV system.
I also have also two manual valves between the pump and the pressure tank where I can shut off the water coming to the house and manually turn the pump on to water few trees around the house with untreated water. To do this the pump control box has 3-way switch. The Auto is for the pressure tank, Off, and manual for tree watering.
I was thinking of adding a combo air release/air relief/vacuum valve before the check valve and another air/vacuum relief on the sediment filter inflow. Is this correct?
I would really appreciate your help to solve the air issue in the piping..
Thank You.
