Tank Installation

Key Steps to Installation:

  • Ensure the tank is installed at the right depth - the finished landscaping should be in line with the marking on the tank.

  • The tank lid should be accessible for pump installation and service.

  • The tank should be installed to prevent ground water or surface water from entering the tank

Cable Installation

Key Installation Tips:

  • Underground cables must be installed in rigid conduit and should be buried to comply with New Zealand electrical standards.

  • Cables should be installed through the factory-installed glands inside the tank - these are watertight and ensure groundwater stays out of the tank.

  • Excess cable should be pulled through the tank - there should be no more and 1-2 meters of excess cable inside the tank after installation.

Alarm/Control Panel Installation

Key Installation Tips:

  • The panel should be mounted to the house, fence, or post and be approximately 1.2 meters above ground level.

  • The panel should be mounted using the provided mounting flanges or brackets - do no drill through the enclosure.

  • Cable entry should occur through the BOTTOM of the panel enclosure only. Conduit adapters should be used and conduit should be sealed.

  • Power should be provided to the panel through a dedicated circuit (see instructions for sizing).

  • Power should be ON before pump installation and start-up
