Site Preparation & Installation
1. Install the tank in an upright position,
supporting the entire base of the tank on a
solid level surface. Ensure that the area is free
from sharp stones, iron bars or any debris.
2. The site must be solid, level, compacted base
that extends beyond the diameter of the tank.
Suitable bases include brick, concrete, gravel
with sand top surface between 300mm and
400mm in depth.
3. Leave sufficient space between the
tank and any surrounding structures to allow
for expansion when the tank is filled. We
recommend a minimum of 150mm (6 inches)
all around. Position the tank ensuring best
access for filling, maintenance and safety.
4. Ensure the tank is protected from
strong winds (especially when
empty). If necessary strap it down.
5. Connect all pipe work, fittings and
accessories once location has been
established. All pipe work and fittings
connected to the tank should be
supported.
WATER TANK STANDS CAN BE USED

QUALIFIED COUNSULTING ENGINEER.
