Another air volume control commonly used for both shallow and deep well ejector pump service is the diaphragm type of the floatless construction.... This control dare not be used with reciprocating pumps. In service a small charge of air is put into the tank each time the pump stops, but only if air is needed. When the tank contains sufficient air no more is added as the air merely works back and forth in the control body. The location of this control is generally lower on the side of the tank because it does not use a float.
