When choosing the correct site to install an Ecotank water storage tank, it is important to take into account any applicable regional or national rules and/or regulations regarding this type of installation.

The person installing the tank must assess the installation site in terms of environmental conditions such as topography, geology, inclination, potential ood areas, landscape, surface run-o, and vegetation, among others. This is necessary to ensure none of the above factors interferes with the systems correct functioning or puts the structural integrity of the tank at risk.

Choosing an incorrect installation site or ignoring environmental factors that can potentially damage the tank will void the product guarantee.

ECOTANK WATER STORAGE TANK INSTALLATION MANUAL

You have purchased an Ecotank water storage tank. To ensure correct installation, we suggest reading the recommendations provided in this document.

WARNING!Non-compliance with the recommendations contained in this manual will void the product guarantee.

INSTALLATION SITE RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION

Place tank vertically on a level surface and make sure to remove any rocks that could damage the tank bottom. It is recommended to place the tank above a slab

Make sure the ground where tank is to be installed is rm and compact. If very soft or a landll, partially replace with compacted select ll material. For further details, consult an engineer.

When connecting the tank to a pumping system, be sure to install a vent pipe at the top of the tank. Pipe diameter must be at least 38 mm (1 ).

When tank is installed on an inclined surface, the ground must be correctly contained and rainwater adequately canalized.

In order to minimize movement, fasten the water pipe to a support near its connection to the tank (30 - 50 cm). This will decrease pressure exercised on the tank wall by any movement of the pipe, especially if a pump is installed.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Do not mount tank on an inclined platform.

Do not mount tank on a platform that is smaller than the tank base.

Do not place tank on an uneven surface.

Do not mount tank on blocks. Should you choose to do so, the space between these should not exceed 3 cm.

Do not install tank below ground.

Do not place tank on crushed stone, vegetation, roots or other elements that could damage the tank bottom.

Never install tank in a position other than specied.

Do not manipulate tank if full or partially full of water.

Do not install tank on ground with surface water run-o or in areas prone to ooding.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Make sure to wash tanks before installing to remove any contaminating particles that might be inside due to handling and/or transportation. Tank should be cleaned every six months to remove particles and sediment. Make sure to properly close tank lid so that sunlight and especially UV rays do not promote algae growth. Do not use bent or twisted pipes or hoses to make connections as this puts stress on the connection to the tank. When using a pumping system, fasten the entry pipe to a support in order to minimize movement. Tank installation site must be easily accessible for inspection and correct maintenance. Never use sharp objects to manipulate the tank (including a forklift) as these can perforate the tank. When storing tank before installation, make sure it is stored in a vertical position on a level surface. Temperature of liquid stored inside the tank must not exceed 60C. Before installing any accessories, make sure to ask an authorized dealer. Tanks are not fire resistant. Do not use or store near an open ame or heat above 80 C. Do not obstruct or seal access to the tank inspection lid. To ensure adequate water pressure in the case of elevated tanks, there must be a distance of at least 2 m between the tank base and highest supply pipe (shower, for example).
