Well water retention tank

Most of the water treatment happens here. There are no shortcuts. 

This  tank is plumbed downstream of the well or source water and upstream of  the carbon filter. Chlorine is injected at the inlet where it mixes with  the water prior to entering the tank. The chlorine reacts with the  water. The water exits the tank through the top. From there the water  goes the carbon filter for dechlorination and particle removal. 

Chlorine does three things:

1-it  kills bacteria. Chlorine takes 15 minutes to kill bacteria. This tank  is sized at 120 gallons. At 8 gallons per minute flow rate, you will get  15 minutes of retention time. 

2-it oxidizes iron. The iron will turn to rust and settle to the bottom of the tank. 

3-it  oxidizes sulfur. The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in the water is the  source of the rotten egg odor in the water. The oxidized sulfur becomes a  solid and it settles to the bottom of the tank.

There  is a drain at the bottom of the tank. Open it periodically to flush the  settled solids out. Solids do not settle perfectly. Often they will  stick to the side of the tank. The most effective way to flush them out  is to empty the tank. Allow air to enter the tank from the spigot near  the top as you drain it. Open the inlet and allow water to flow in while  the drain is still open. This will allow the tank to be cleaned more  thoroughly. Run the water until it appears clear. Allow air to escape  out the spigot near the top when refilling the tank.

Installation 

Mount  on solid concrete floor or pad. Floor must be level. As with all  fiberglass tanks, a vacuum relief must be installed to protect the liner  against damage in the event of a vacuum condition forming inside the  system.
