E. Center tubing over butt connector and apply heat
evenly with a torch (match or lighter will not
supply enough heat, Figure 4-6).
NOTICE: Keep torch moving. Too much concentrated heat
may damage tubing.
4.3 3-Phase Starters
Starters are used to start the motor by engaging contacts
that will energize each line simultaneously. The contacts
are closed when the coil is energized.
Figures 4-7 through 4-9 show three types of starters used
on the motors. The control device in the secondary circuit
is typically a pressure switch. Other control could be
provided by level control, timers or manual switches.
Line Voltage Control
This commonly-used control has a coil energized by line
voltage. The coil voltage matches the line voltage.
Low Voltage Control
This starter arrangement uses a transformer to allow
the coil to be energized by a lower voltage. Note that the
secondary circuit must be fused, and the coil sized for the
secondary voltage.
Separate Voltage Control
This arrangement uses power from a separate source to
energize the coil.

4.4 Checking Motor Rotation
To check rotation before the pump is installed, follow
thesesteps:
During testing or checking rotation (such as bumping
or inching) the number of starts should be limited to
3and total run time of less than 15 seconds.
Bumping must be done while motor is in horizontal
position and followed by a full 15 minute cooling-off
period before any additional starts are attempted.
Energize the motor
briefly, and observe the
direction of rotation.
It should be counter-
clockwise when viewed
from the pump (shaft)
end.
To check rotation after
the pump is installed:
NOTICE: NEVER
continuously operate a
pump with the discharge
valve completely closed
(dead head). This can overload the motor due to lack of
cooling, or destroy the pump and will void the warranty.
After energizing the motor, check the flow and pressure
of the pump to make sure that the motor is rotating in the
correct direction. To correct a wrong rotation, switch any
two of the three cable connections (three-phase motor
only). The setting that gives the most flow and pressure is
correct.
A cooling-off period of 15 minutes is required
betweenstarts.
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power
before working on wiring.
Input voltage, current and insulation resistance values
should be recorded throughout the installation and
should be used for preventive maintenance.
4.5 3-Phase Current Balancing
Current Unbalance Test
Before checking for current unbalance, the pump must
be started, and rotation direction determined.
Determine current unbalance by measuring current in
each power lead. Measure current for all three possible
hookups (Figure 4-11). Use example and worksheet on
the Installation Checklist and Record in Section 12 to
calculate current unbalance on a three phase supply
system and retain for future reference.
NOTICE: Current unbalance between leads should not
exceed 5%. If unbalance cannot be corrected by rolling
the leads, locate the source of the unbalance.
Here is an example of current readings at maximum
pump loads on each leg of a three wire hookup. Make
calculations for all three possible hookups.
A. For each hookup, add the readings for the three legs.
B. Divide each total by three to get average amps.
C. For each hookup, find current value farthest from
average (Calculate the greatest current difference
from the average).
D. Divide this difference by the average and multiply by
100 to obtain the percentage of unbalance.
Use smallest percentage unbalance, in this case
Arrangement 2 (Table 4.1).
Us e the Current-Balance worksheet
located in the Installation Record
After trying all three lead hookups, if the reading furthest
from average continues to show on the same power lead,
most of the unbalance is coming from the power source.
Call the power company.
If the reading furthest from average changes leads as the
hookup changes (that is, stays with a particular motor
lead), most of the unbalance is on the motor side of the
starter. This could be caused by a damaged cable, leaking
splice, poor connection, or faulty motor winding.

4.6 Transformer Sizing
A full three-phase power supply is recommended
for all three-phase motors and may consist of three
individual transformers or one three-phase transformer.
Open delta or wye connections which use only two
transformers can be used, but are more likely to cause
unbalanced current problems. Transformer ratings
should be no smaller than listed in Table 4-2 for supply
power to the motor alone.
Transformers are rated by KVA capacity. This must be
high enough capacity for the motor being installed. If the
transformer capacity is too small, the motor will receive
reduced voltage and may be damaged.
Any other loads in the system would be in addition to the
motor alone.
Refer to Table 4-2. Note that the open delta configuration
can only use 87% of the rated power of the two
transformers.

4.7 Using a Generator
Selecting a generator
Select a generator that can supply at least 65% of rated
voltage upon start-up of the motor.
The chart shows ratings of generators, both externally
and internally regulated. This chart is somewhat
conservative. Consult the generator manufacturer if you
are uncertain.

50 150.0 188.0 60.0 75.0
60 175.0 220.0 75.0 94.0
Frequency
It is highly important that the generator maintain
constant frequency (Hz), since the motors speed depends
uponfrequency.
A drop of just 1 to 2 Hz can noticeably lower pump
performance. An increase of 1 to 2 Hz can cause
overloadconditions.
Voltage Regulation
There is a significant difference in the performance of
internally and externally regulated generators.
An external regulator senses output voltage dips
and triggers an increase in the voltage output of the
generator.
An internal regulator, senses current and responds to
increased current by supplying more voltage.
Generator Operation
Start the generator before starting the pump motor.
The pump motor must be stopped before turning off
thegenerator.
If the generator runs out of fuel, and the pump is still
connected, it will put excess strain on the thrust bearings
as the generator slows.
Risk of electrocution. Use transfer
switches when the generator is used as a backup to the
power grid. Contact your power company or generator
manufacturer for proper use of standby or backup
generators.
4.8 Special Applications
Using Phase Converters
Phase converters allow three-phase motors to operate
from one-phase supply. Various styles of phase
converters are available. Many converters do not supply
a properly balanced voltage, and using these will void the
motors warranty unless approval is obtained first.
Guidelines For Phase Converters:
Current unbalance must be less than 5%.
Converter to be sized to service factor capacity
Maintain motor cooling with a cooling flow of at least
3 per second.
Fuses and circuit breakers must be time-delay type.
Motor Starting with Reduced Voltage
Starting a motor with full voltage will bring it to full speed
in less than 1/2 second. This can:
Spike the load current, causing brief voltage dips in
other equipment.
Over-stress pump and piping components because of
high torque.
Cause water hammer.
Motor Starters (3-Phase Only)
Various types of motor starters are available.
Autotransformers are recommended because of reduced
current draw.
When motor starters are used, they should supply
a minimum of 55% of rated voltage for adequate
startingtorque.

5.1 Motor Inspection
Check the motor for damage in shipping.
Before installation, check the following.
Check over all tools, especially the hoisting gear, for
wear or damage before hoisting unit.
Inspect the motor cable for any nicks or cuts.
Verify that motor nameplate data matches
registration card information exactly.
Verify that motor nameplate voltage is correct for
available power supply voltage. Voltage must not vary
more than +/-10% from nameplate rated voltage.
Verify that the well diameter is large enough to
accommodate the motor/pump unit all the way to the
pump setting depth.
For installations with tight well casings, make sure
that riser pipe flanges are recessed to protect
the power and control cables from abrasion and
squeezing during installation.
Heavy object. Lifting equipment must be
capable of lifting motor and attached equipment.
If the total length of the pump motor unit (without
any riser pipe) exceeds 10 (3m), the unit must be
supported with a girder while hoisting. Do not remove
supporting girder until unit is standing vertically in the
hoist. Check for damage.
5.2 Testing
Insulation Resistance
To check for insulation resistance:
1. Disconnect power to the motor for this test.
2. Connect an Ohm meter (resistance in ) between the
power leads and the motor ground or well casing.
20K Damaged motor, possible result of
lightning strike.
500K Typical of older installed motor in well.
2 M Newly installed motor
10 M Used motor, measured outside of well
20 M New motor without cable
5.3 Storage and Transportation
The motors are filled with a non-toxic, Propylene Glycol
and water solution to prevent damage from freezing
temperatures. The solution will prevent damage from
freezing temperatures to -40F (-40 C). Motors should
be stored in areas that do not go below this temperature.
The solution will become slushy between 0F (-17C) and
-40F (-40C) but no damage occurs. If this occurs, allow
the motor to sit in the well for several minutes before
operating.
Storage site should be clean, well vented, and cool.
Keep humidity at the storage site as low as possible.
Protect motor and cables from direct sunlight.
Protect power supply cables and control cables from
moisture by taping the cable ends with electricians tape.
Do not kink power supply or control cables.
Take care when moving unit (packed or unpacked) with
crane or hoisting gear not to knock it against walls, steel
structure, floors, etc. Do not drop motor.
Do not lift motor or motor/pump unit by power supply or
control cables.

5.8 4 Motor Overload Protection
Single Phase Motors
Single phase motors have overload protection either
in the motor or in the control box. Motors less than or
equal to 1HP have built-in protection. This automatic
protection will continue to cycle under a locked or stalled
rotorcondition.
Single phase motors larger than 1 HP use overload
protection located in the SMC (Submersible Motor
Controls) section. These are manual overloads and must
be manually reset if an overload condition occurs.

6.2 Testing
ELECTRICAL
(See Table 1, Page 4, for Motor Electrical
Specifications)
1. Risk of electrical shock if the cable is
damaged. Inspect the motor cable for any nicks or
cuts. Do not use the motor cable to pull, lift, or
handle the motor. Protect the motor cable during
storage, handling, moving, and installation of the
motor.
2. Inspect the motor to determine that it is the correct
horsepower, voltage, and size for the job and that
there is no shipping damage. Verify that the motor
nameplate voltage matches the available power
supply voltage. The nameplate rated voltage must
not vary more than 10% from the power supply
voltage.
3. On all new installations and after the motor has
sat idle for a long period of time, check the motors
internal electrical resistance with a megohmmeter
with lead wires connected. Prior to installation, the
motor should have an insulation value of at least
500 megohms. After installation, the motor and
power cable should have a minimum insulation
value of 1 megohm. If the minimum values are
below the listed values, contact the factory before
starting the motor.
4. Fuses or circuit breakers and overload protection
are required. Fuses or circuit breakers and
overloads must be sized in accordance with National
Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC) requirements, as applicable, and with all
applicable local codes and ordinances. See
Section 6 for these specifications.
5. Wire and ground the motor in accordance with
National Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) requirements, as applicable,
and with all applicable local codes and ordinances.
6.3 Storage and Drain/Fill Instructions
LIFTING
1. Heavy Object. Lifting equipment must be
capable of lifting motor and attached equipment. Check
over all tools, especially the hoisting gear, for wear or
damage before hoisting the unit.
2. If the total length of the pump and motor unit (without
any riser pipe attached) exceeds 10ft (3m), support the
unit with a girder while hoisting (see Figure 1). Do not
remove the supporting girder until the unit is standing
vertically in the hoist. Check for damage.

6.3 Storage and Drain/Fill Instructions
MOTOR STORAGE AND INSTALLATION
1. The motor is filled at the factory with anti-freeze
which will protect it in temperatures down to 22F
(-30C). Do not install, transport or store the motor
below these temperatures if the motor is filled. If
storage is necessary at temperatures below 22F
(-30C), drain the anti-freeze from the motor.
2. Verify that the motor is full before installing. If not, fill
it with clean water (see below). Installing a motor that
is not filled with liquid will void the warranty. Before
installation, check all water fill and drain plugs,
mounting bolts, and cable connections for tightness.
Refill the motor with clean water as follows:
A. Stand the motor on end (vertically) and remove the
fill plug with a 5mm hexagonal nut driver.
B. Turn the motor shaft by hand while rocking the
motor back and forth (see Figure 2).
C. Pour in clean water until the motor is as full as
possible.
D. Repeat the turning/rocking procedure.
E. Check the liquid level. If necessary, add more clean
water.
F. When the motor is full, re-install the fill plug.
Tighten it with the 5mm hexagonal nut driver.
Support motor while rocking to prevent motor
from falling over.
A. Rock motor
while turning
shaft.
B. Fill motor;
repeat rocking
and flling until
motor is full.
Figure 2: Rock Motor gently from side to side while
turning shaft by hand (A), then fill with clean water (B).
Repeat until full.
Less Than 10 Ft (3 M) 10 Ft (3M) or More
10 Ft (3M) or More
Support the pump and motor!
Lack of support will destroy the motor!
Figure 1: When the pump and motor together
(without any riser pipe) are 10ft (3m) long or more,
support the assembly before lifting to avoid bending
it in the middle. Never try to lift the motor or pump
by the motor cables.

Figure 3: If flow past motor is less than .5 fps (0.15 mps),
install a flow inducer sleeve as shown. Flow must be at
least .5 fps (0.15 mps) for adequate motor cooling. The
flow inducer sleeve should not touch the side of the
motor.

6.3 Storage and Drain/Fill Instructions
NOTICE To avoid damaging the motor thrust bearing,
do not hammer on the shaft, coupling, or slinger. Check
the motor rotation by hand to make sure that it turns
freely.
1. To avoid damage to the motor diaphragm, make
sure that the bottom of the motor does not touch
the dirt or mud at the bottom of the well. Install the
motor at least 10 above the well bottom.
2. To install the motor horizontally, lay it down with
the lead wires at 12 oclock when you are facing
the motor shaft. To prevent any load on the shaft
and bearings and to avoid any damaging vibrations
to the motor, mount the motor solidly on the pump
end and make sure that the pump and motor are
accurately aligned.
3. Install the motor so that during operation water
flows past all parts of it at a rate of at least 0.5 fps
(0.15 mps). If the well will not provide this flow,
install a sleeve on the motor to channel water past
it (see Figure 3). Do not try to operate the motor in
mud or sand. To do so will damage the motor and
void the warranty.
4. Electrical connections: Connect the three motor
leads to the three hot motor leads (black, brown,
and blue) in the incoming cable. Connect the
ground wire (green and yellow) in accordance with
NEC or CEC requirements (as applicable) and in
accordance with all applicable local codes and
ordinances. Apply power momentarily to check
rotation. If the motor runs backwards, interchange
any two power leads to reverse direction of rotation.

SECTION 6: Pentek
6 Submersible Motors
6.7 Overload Protection
Submersible motors must have Class 10 overload protection that will disconnect the power within 10 seconds in the
case of a locked rotor. To accomplish this, fixed-heater overloads are used. Refer to Section 10 for appropriate heaters.
The chart is based upon total line amps. Divide the motor amps by 1.732 when using a 6-lead motor with a Y-Delta
Starter. Notice: General Electric overload heaters are only usable with general electric overload relays. Do not adjust
relays to exceed nameplate amps.
6.8 Motor Cooling
Pentek 6 motors are designed for minimum water flow of 0.5 ft. /sec. past the motor. Maximum water temperature is
95 F (35 C).

If the flow is less than specified, a flow-inducer sleeve can be installed. This will act like a smaller casing size, and
force flow around the motor to aid cooling. Always use a flow-inducer sleeve when the pump is in open water.
6.9 Head Loss In Casing
Use the chart below to account for the head loss around the pump.
6.10 Starting Frequency
To extend the life of the pump motor and control, limit the number of starts
to 100 per 24 hours. If higher starting frequencies are necessary, consult
your factory. To prevent overheating, run motor for a minimum of two
minutes. For starting frequency, refer to section 5.10.

Problem Possible Causes Solution
Motor does not start, but does not
blow fuses or trip circuit breaker
Defective fuses or circuit breakers
Loose or corroded terminals
Damaged or defective connections
No incoming power
Replace fuses or circuit breakers.
Clean and tighten connections and
motor lead terminals.
Repair or replace connections.
Contact power company.
Motor starts, but fuses blow or
circuit breakers trip
Wrong voltage
Incorrect fuses or relay
Incorrect connections
Locked rotor or pump
Insufficient insulation on motor
cables
Make sure that nameplate rated
voltage matches nominal power
supply, and that actual supply voltage
is within 10% of nameplate voltage.
Install correct fuses or relay.
Re-connect motor wires correctly.
Make sure that motor is at least 10ft
above bottom of well, check well for
sand.
Install new motor cables; recheck
resistance with Megohmeter.
Motor starts and runs, then blows
fuse or trips circuit breaker
Incoming voltage more than 10% high
or low sand in well
Confirm high or low voltage in motor
cable, consult power company.
Pull the pump and clean the well.
Motor does not start, but fuse
blows or circuit breaker trips
Locked rotor or pump Check for sand in well.
Make sure that motor is at least 10ft
above the bottom of the well.
Pull pump and check for mechanical
obstruction in the pump and for free
rotation of the motor.

overload heaters are only usable with General Electric overload relays. Do not adjust
relays to exceed nameplate amps.
7.8 Motor Cooling
Hitachi 6 motors are designed for minimum water flow of 0.5 ft. /sec. past the motor. Maximum water temperature is
95 F (35 C).

If the flow is less than specified, a flow-inducer sleeve can be installed. This will act like a smaller casing size, and
force flow around the motor to aid cooling. Always use a flow-inducer sleeve when the pump is in open water.
7.9 Head Loss In Casing
Use the chart below to account for the head loss around the pump.
7.10 Starting Frequency
To extend the life of the pump motor and control, limit the number of starts
to 100 per 24 hours. If higher starting frequencies are necessary, consult
your factory. To prevent overheating, run motor for a minimum of two
minutes. For starting frequency, refer to section 5.10.

9.6.4 Step By Step Programming
Instructions
STEP 1
Initial Startup Panel Display
Upon initial drive power-up the installer will be prompted
to run the Pentek
equipment. Refer to
appropriate section of the manual for more information.
Electrical Power
Verify that the electrical service transformers KVA
rating is adequate per the Table 4-2.
Verify that motor voltage and frequency on the
nameplate match the power supply voltage.
Verify that fuse sizes are appropriate for the
installation
Verify that the pump, casing and power supply are
allgrounded.
Inspect lightning arrestors for proper sized wire and
grounding. Do not rely solely on a grounding rod in the
earth.
Verify that the cable size from the power supply box
to the pump is the correct size. See tables in
section 5-4.
Motor
Lead Condition.
Check insulation resistance.
Verify nameplate information for the service needed.
Verify that the motor is correctly sized to pump.
Verify that fuses, heaters and other electrical
components are appropriate for the amp load.
Fluid level.
Pump and Motor Assembly
Verify pump shaft rotation.
Verify that the pump rating matches the
siterequirements.
Visually inspect pump and motor for electrical lead
condition and splice condition.
Installation
Verify that the pipe joints are tight.
Verify that check valves have been installed.
Verify that the cable is supported with straps or tape
at least every 10 feet (3.05 m).
Pump cooling.
Start the pump and observe any noise, vibration, leaks
or overheating.
Verify that the pump performance is as specified,
that the electrical current is balanced and
withinspecifications.
Check Valves
Check valve installation is necessary for proper pump
operation. The pump should have a check valve on its
discharge, or within 25 feet (7.62 m) of the pump. For
very deep wells, locate a check valve at least every
200feet (61 m).
DONOT install the check valve midway between
the pump and the ground surface. Vibration in the
piping will resonate and may damage or destroy the
piping or pump. Adjust check valve spacing to avoid a
mid-pointplacement.
Use only spring type check valves. Swing type valves
can cause water hammer problems.
Do not use drain-back style check valves (drilled).
Check valves serve the following purposes:
Maintain Pressure: Without a check valve, the pump
has to start each cycle at zero head, and fill the down
pipe. This creates upthrust in the motor, and would
eventually damage both the pump and motor.
Prevent Water Hammer: If two check valves are used,
and the lower one leaks, then a partial vacuum forms
in the pipe. When the pump next starts, the flow fills
the void area quickly and creates a shock wave that
can break piping and damage the pump.
Prevent Back-Spin: Without a functioning check
valve, upon shutoff, the water drains back through
the pump, and cause it to rotate backwards. This can
create excessive wear on the thrust bearing, and if the
pump restarts as water is flowing down the pipe, it
will put an excessive load on the pump.

14.2 Choosing A Pump System
A typical well application can be set up using one of three
electrical configurations for single-phase power. The
samples below are based upon a system using a 1.5 HP,
20-22 gpm pump, with 400 feet of wire from electrical
disconnect to the motor. All configurations shown are
suitable methods for residential applications.

14.3 Sizing Submersible Pump, Motor,
and Tanks
Sizing a Submersible Pump
The following steps should be taken relative to properly
sizing the system.
1. Determine gpm of system and well.
2. Size of well casing and type.
3. Determine service pressure requirements.
4. Determine voltage and phase.
5. Determine discharge pipe size.
6. Calculate friction head loss.
7. Determine (total discharge) head.
8. Select the submersible pump for the above criteria,
and appropriate controls for the pump.
9. Select the proper size tank for minimum one minute
pump run time.
10. For starting frequency, refer to Section 5.10.
11. Determine the distance from the service entrance
panel to the pump motor.
12. Determine the size wire required based on the motors
maximum load amps and the distance from the
service entrance to the motor.
14.4 How to Select the Correct
Pumping Equipment
103
SECTION 14: Appendix
The answer to four basic questions will help select the
proper pump.
1. What is the size of the well? The inside diameter of
the well must be known so that the proper size pump
and drop pipe can be determined.
2. What is the submergence? The vertical distance
in feet from the pump to the water level while the
pump is operating (see Figure 12-1). If the pump is
installed away from the well and is on higher ground,
this elevation must also be included. This must not be
confused with the standing waterlevel.
3. What should the average discharge pressure be?
Usual average discharge pressure is 50lbs. half way
between the 40 lbs. to 60 lbs. switch setting of most
water systems. More pressure is needed when the
tank is installed away from the pump and at a higher
level, or when house or yard fixtures are above the
pump and tank, and a larger pump must be used.
4. What capacity is required? The discharge capacity
of the pump in gallons per minute that is needed
for satisfactory service. The pump should have
enough capacity so that it can deliver the total water
requirement in 2 hours of continuous operation. See
Table 12-1 for average water requirements.
Installation Terminology
Standing or Static Water Level distance from top of
well to natural water level when pump is not operating.
Drawdown Distance distance water level drops while
pump is operating.
Drawdown or Pumping Water Level standing water
level plus drawdown.
Submergence distance submersible pump intake
screen is installed below drawdown level.
Elevation vertical distance between top of well and
service inlet.
Pump Setting distance from top of well to pump
inletscreen.
Service Pressure pressure required (in PSI) at
serviceinlet.
Friction Loss loss of pressure due to friction of water
flowing through pipe and fittings.
Head discharge head (in feet) delivered when pump is
operating at desired capacity.
Horizontal Pipe Run horizontal distance between
service inlet and well.
Top of Wellalso means Pitless Adapter Level or
wellexit.
Service Inletalso means Storage Tank Inlet.
Selecting a Pump
TIP: PSIcan be converted to equivalent feet of head by
multiplying by 2.31.
i.e. 60 psi = 138.6 feet of head
To choose a motor for your submersible pump you first
must know:
Flow required in Gallons per Minute
Total head (Pumping level, friction losses
and service pressure required)
Friction loss must be calculated, and depends upon total
length, diameter and type of pipe plus additions for each
fitting (valves, elbows...) in the line.
Refer to the product catalog for friction loss charts.

EXAMPLE
Assume we want 16 GPM at 60 PSI from a pump
drawdown level (pumping level) 100 feet below the
serviceinlet.
We have a 35 foot horizontal run of 1 1/4 plastic pipe
with two gate valves and four 90 elbows.
To find the Friction losses we must refer to friction loss
charts for pipe and fittings.
We find:
135 feet of pipe for the total pipe run (100 + 35).
10 equivalent feet of pipe for the gate valves (2 x5)
28 equivalent feet of pipe for the elbows (7x 4)
Add these for the total equivalent length of pipe = 173
In the friction loss charts, find the loss of head for
173feet of 1 1/4 pipe at 16 gpm. (3.96 per 100) =3.96
x 1.73 = 6.8 (round to 7.0)
Add: 7 Friction loss
100 Pumping level
139 60 PSI service pressure required (60
x2.31=138.6. Round to 139)
= 246 Total Dynamic Head.
From this sample curve we would choose the
11/2HPpump.
Locate a pump with a best efficiency point near the
desired flow rate (16 GPM) that meets the total head
requirements (246 TDH).
Selecting a pump in this manner gives you the most
efficient pump for your application.
14.5 Sizing Tanks
Tank should be sized to accomodate starting frequency in
Section 5.10.
Refer to the dealer catalog for tank selection. Otherwise,
the following procedure can be used.
Drawdown based on Boyles Law
Procedure:
1. Identify drawdown multiplier relating to
specific application.
2. Insert multiplier (X) into the following formula:
Pump GPM x Min Run Time = Minimum Tank
Multiplier (X) Capacity Required
Example: An example of a 20 GPM pump with a
minimum run time of 1 minute, installed on a
50-70 PSIG system pressure range:
20 GPM x 1 minute = 83.3 minimum U.S.
.24 (factor) gallon tank capacity
NOTICE: Drawdown will be affected by operating
temperature of the system, accuracy of the pressure
switch and gauge, the actual pre-charge pressure and the
rate offill.

Ta nk sizing for Variable Frequency Drives
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) may require slightly
different methods for figuring tank size. Refer to
Section 8 for VFD information.
