Install a relief valve. Set the relief valve to open at the maximum operating pressure. This will protect the Flowvess HWG-V tank and other system components. The relief valve should be installed at the connection of the Flowvess HWG-V tank to the pipe system and have a discharge equal to the pump capacity at maximum operating pressure.
