This tank, like any diaphragm tank, works and lasts longer when mounted vertically. In the horizontal position, the diaphragm lays on the side of the tank. As the diaphragm goes back and forth, it rubs against the tank and could wear itself out prematurely.
Yes, it can.
Yes, this tank can be installed upside down.
It sounds to us like the bladder may be ripped in the tank. There is an air shatter valve on the tank--press it in and see if water comes out. If so, the tank needs to be replaced.
No, it is not big enough. You need to use SKU:141N43.
Normally, the tank is installed to your air eliminator/air scoop.
We recommend using SKU: 103-1 for the Ultra 155 and SKU: 118-27 for the Ultra 230.
