INSTALLATION

Note – a minimum 550mm clearance is required above all tanks for service, cleaning and warranty.

Option 1 – Concrete Pad;

• This is our preferred option as it removes any possibility of future erosion
• A 100mm thick slab with reinforcing mesh is ideal
• The slab should be at least 50mm larger than the tank on all sides.

Option 2 – Concrete Pavers;

• Concrete pavers sitting on a crushed rock base
• Base must be compacted and level prior to paving
• Sufficient support is required under the pavers so they don’t sink over time.

DELIVERY

Note a minimum 550mm clearance is required above all tanks for service, cleaning and warranty.

The delivery of your tank will be on a light truck with tandem trailer. Please note:

• Our driver cannot unload on his own, he will need assistance to help unload the tank off the truck and move it into position. For slimline tanks up to 4000 litres and round tanks up to 9000 litres, one extra person is required onsite, for bigger sizes a minimum of two extra people are needed onsite.
• Your property should be clearly numbered or we need a map to assist the driver to locate the site
• Access to the tank site must be free from overhead objects such as power lines and tree branches
• Your driveway and all access roads must have 4.5m height clearance
• Ensure sufficient width is available for our 3m wide vehicle (vehicle is 16m Long and up to 4.5m High with full load)
• Your site should be dry and firm to prevent the vehicle sliding or sinking
• Ensure the delivery site is safe, and free from risk of damage to persons, product or property
• If the tank is in an exposed area you will need to either put 50mm of water into the tank, or if water is not available the tank must be tied down to prevent it from blowing away. We cannot take any responsibility for tanks damaged in this manner.
• We install the threaded fittings in the tank, however you or a plumber will need to install the valves onto these fittings prior to filling the tank. You will need to use Teflon tape or similar to seal the connection.
