Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / Can PK1A take the place of the AV22 kit for a Goulds J5 pump?

« on: May 25, 2012, 05:23:12 PM »

I am going to be replacing a double drop (deep well) jet pump and a 36 gallon pressure tank in the near future. I want to use a Goulds J5 pump (the closest thing to the Goulds pump now in use) and I want to replace the pressure tank with a PK1A to save space, and hopefully stabalize water pressure in the house. My question is, can I forego the AV22 kit the Goulds J5 pump says is required since the PK1A already has a pressure control valve?

"•Deep well systems require a pressure control valve.
?NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A JDW OR AV22 KIT TO MAKE THE PRESSURE SWITCH CONNECTION.
•Pressure tank required on all systems."

Thanks for any advice!
