Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your cylinder is cool to the touch and that all power to the immersion heater is switched off. Ensure the cylinder dimensions are exactly 30" x 18". Clean the exterior of the tank to ensure a snug fit. Wrap the four panels around the cylinder, aligning the seams carefully. Use the provided fastening ties to secure the jacket tightly against the tank surface, ensuring there are no gaps for heat to escape. Regularly check the ties every six months to ensure they remain taut and that the jacket has not slipped.
