TANK STANDS — General Information
Assemble & Set Tank Stands
ATTENTION:
The stand for the 125 gallon tank is heavy when assembled. It should be assembled at or near the spot where it will be in use to minimize
moving and to facilitate leveling. Once assembled and leveled,
stand cannot be moved without repeating the leveling steps.
Leg support assemblies require a solid surface. If stands are not positioned on concrete as recommended, take additional steps to construct a solid base on
which to mount each tank stand support. Take the necessary steps to firmly pack the soil or gravel and then bury concrete blocks, pavers, or solid wood blocks
level with finished grade
for each support.
Do not set on soil, sand, or gravel.
Do not set tank stands on raised blocks or platforms.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure proper water levels throughout the system during operation,
set tank stands on the same finished grade as the float bed
. Review
layout diagrams for additional details.
To best judge raft bed position and to ensure economic use of available space and PVC pipe, assemble (if needed) and set all stands in place to get started.
Section 1:
Review diagrams on previous pages, assemble and set 15 and 125 gallon tank stands according to layout dimensions shown. Review overall
layout and position stands so system plumbing can be connected as shown in diagrams.
Turn stands so support legs do not interfere with plumbing installation.
Stand for 125 Gallon Tank
Stand for 15 Gallon Tank
ATTENTION:
Stands require a solid base such as reinforced concrete or concrete pavers capable of supporting full tanks for adequate support and to prevent
settling. Take the necessary steps to construct a solid surface before setting tanks.
