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

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 flood
areas, landscape, surface run-off, 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION
Ventilation
pipe
Embankment
Select
material
fill
Make sure the ground where tank is to

be installed is firm and compact. If
very soft or a landfill, partially replace
with compacted select fill material.
For further details, consult an
engineer.
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
When tank is installed on an inclined

surface, the ground must be correctly
contained and rainwater adequately
canalized.

connection
Pipe
support
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.
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 ).
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 specified.
GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not manipulate tank if full

or partially full of water.
Do not install tank on ground

with surface water run-off or
in areas prone to flooding.
