How to Troubleshoot Champion Precharged Water Pressure Tanks

Champion precharged water system tanks are made by the Amtrol Company and are designed to prevent the mixing of air and water that enter the tank. The water system tank works by turning on the pump when the water system pressure drops below a minimum setting and fills the tank with usable water. Once the pressure inside the chamber reaches the maximum setting, the pump stops and the tank remains filled. Troubleshooting the Champion tank should only be done by an individual who's familiar with working with pressurized settings and equipment.
