GROUND INSTALLATION
Use an optional In-grade housing kit when installing an Aqua Drum in-ground; three sizes
of sleeve kit are available to fit the various Aqua Drum models. Each kit consists of a durable
plastic sleeve, a replacement die cast trim ring for the fixture, plus four screws.
GROUND INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1 Where necessary, ensure power to the installation site has been fully isolated.
2 Ensure the installation area has suitable drainage to prevent the well from accumulating
water. The base should be formed from permeable stone/gravel plus the use of a French
Drain is recommended in clay soils:
3 Install suitable cabling from the Aqua Driver controller to the well via Waterproof Conduit
and use a waterproof Junction Box at the base of the well. Note: Between six and twelve
conductors (see “Port connection cables” on page 5 for appropriate wire gauges) will be
required, depending on the model of Aqua Drum being used.
4 Insert the plastic sleeve and pour the concrete so that the top level of the sleeve is within
0.8” (20mm) above grade in order to promote water run-off on the finished ground
surface.
5 Prepare the Aqua Drum for insertion - see “Preparing the Aqua Drum for ground
installation” on page 16 for details.
6 Carefully shorten the fixed Aqua Drum cable and connect it to the supply circuit(s) within
the waterproof junction box - see “Connector pin outs” on page 7.
7 Place the Aqua Drum into the well and secure it using the supplied four screws. The
supplied screws require a TA2.3mm triangular driver (to assist with tamper resistance).
