Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Identify a suitable, sturdy wall adjacent to a downpipe.
- Use the included mounting brackets and hardware to securely attach the tank to the wall. Ensure it is level and firmly fixed.
- Connect the provided kit to your downpipe according to the kit's instructions. This usually involves cutting the downpipe and inserting the diverter.
- Connect the diverter outlet to the tank's inlet.
- Ensure any overflow outlets are directed safely away from foundations.
Compatibility:
This tank is designed to connect to standard domestic downpipes. The specific connection kit may require verification against your existing downpipe dimensions. It is intended for rainwater collection only and not for potable water storage.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the tank and connections for any damage or blockages.
- Periodically clean the tank's interior to prevent algae or sediment buildup. Use a mild detergent and water, rinsing thoroughly.
- Ensure the overflow is clear, especially before periods of heavy rain.
- In winter, drain the tank if there is a risk of freezing to prevent damage.
