Abstract
A well water system includes a two piece modular adaptor that allows the pressure controls to be readily detached from the plumbing of the well water system. The modular adaptor includes a hollow adaptor body and a detachable adaptor coupler, which connects the pressure control and a pressure gauge to the modular adaptor. The detachable coupler allows the pressure controller to be completely disconnected from the well water system without reworking the existing plumbing and reduces the potential of major water leaks.
Claims10
In a water pressure system including a pump for pumping water from a water bearing aquifer, a pressure tank connected to the pump by a water conduit, the pressure tank including an inlet end, an outlet end, and an outer housing that is fillable with water from the submersible pump for storing a reserve of water, system plumbing connecting the pump and pressure tank, and a pressure control for monitoring water pressure in the system plumbing and controlling operation of the pump, a modular adaptor connecting a pressure control to the system plumbing comprising:
- an adaptor body mountable to the system plumbing;
- an adaptor coupler connected to the pressure control and detachably connected to the adaptor body;
- and
- a valve disposed within the adaptor body and operatively abutting the adaptor coupler to allow fluid flow through the modular adaptor from the system plumbing when the adaptor coupler is connected to the adaptor body and to prevent fluid flow through the modular adaptor when the adaptor coupler is disconnected from the adaptor body.
