Easy to Install & Ready to Use
Ground installation requires minimal preparation, the tanks can be situated on any smooth level site. Ideal for tank stands they will not rust or corrode and they are ready for immediate use.
Tank Installation
It is not recommended to bury Poly tanks deeper than 400mm.
Note: Poly tanks will expand when full
.
Ensure the long life of your tank by observing the following:
- Your tank must be sited on a compacted, level base e.g. Concrete or Crusher dust completely boxed in, so the site material cannot be washed away. The siting of the tank on fill is NOT recommended as subsidence may occur - a 23,650Ltr tank weighs approximately 23,650 kg when full.
- The overflow pipe must be plumbed away from the tank. Failure to do so will result in the tank site being undermined and likely cause the failure of your tank. The long term maintenance of the site is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and is very important to insure maximum life from your tank. Damage or distortion of the tank by site erosion is not covered by warranty.
If you have any doubts about your installation please telephone us.
Correct method for siting above ground tank
Securing Tank
It is recommended that you put at least 25mm of water in to the tank or otherwise secure your tank from being blown away. Tankworld takes no responsibility for tanks being damaged in this way.
Slim Line Tank Installation
Slim Line tanks by design are tall with a narrow base. All slim line tanks MUST be installed upon a very sound base, preferably a concrete slab. A slim line tank installation on a soft base could tip over. Do NOT site Poly slim line tanks directly against a wall as they will expand when full and may place undue pressure against any structure.Fittings
Please advise us if you need any extra fittings or gate valves. Strainer, Overflow and one brass outlet plus gate valve - up to 40mm - will be supplied with your tank and fitted on delivery. All other plumbing work to and away from the tank is the responsibility of the purchaser. Extra fittings are available on request. Fittings larger than 40mm are available at an extra cost.
