Water Tank Site Preparation & Installation Instructions:

• The water tank is made of polyethylene. It must be handled with care. Avoid sliding on rough & sharp surfaces. Lift the water tank when moving into position.
• WATER TANK SITE MUST BE SMOOTH & LEVEL. Cleared of all rocks, stones sticks and sharp objects that may damage base of water tanks.
• Site must be solid and compacted ground especially if fill is to be used.
• Rainwater tanks can be placed on a level concrete slab with a smooth finish. Avoid rough screeding.
• Concrete slab must be level reinforced and thick enough with diameter greater than tank to support weight of tank when full. If in doubt, consult engineer.
• Water tanks can be placed on level bed of packing sand 100mm thick and retained 300mm greater in diameter to avoid undermining from wind, water or vermin.
• Water tank stands can be used but must be designed by a consulting engineer.
• A 300mm flexible pipe should be installed after the ball valve tap to minimise strain on rainwater tank and tank fittings.
• Water tank overflow should be piped away from the water tank.
• SLIMLINE WATER TANKS MUST ALWAYS BE PLACED ON A LEVEL CONCRETE SLAB.
• Slimline water tanks are delivered with clear plastic wrapping. This wrapping must not be removed until the water tank is fully installed in its final position.
