ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
1.1
Safety Issues
All applicable federal, state, and local safety regulations should be observed
during assembly, installation, maintenance, and/or repair of this equipment.
When inspecting tanks, we strongly recommend that a second person be
present.
When inspecting tanks, particularly when standing on them, a 2nd person
must be present.
The installation of the system or any of its individual parts must be con-
ducted by qualified professionals.
The manufacturer offers a comprehensive portfolio of accessories that are
designed to work with each other and can be developed into complete sys-
tems. Using unapproved components may cause the system to malfunction,
in which case any existing warranties will not be applicable.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when drilling or cutting during this installa-
tion.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN NEAR THE TANK BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER
INSTALLATION WITHOUT DIRECT SUPERVISION BY A COMPETENT PERSON.
1.2
Compulsory Labelling
All lines, connections, and outlets of water processed with this equipment must be
labelled with the words “UNTREATED RAINWATER: DO NOT DRINK” in writing or
graphically in order to avoid an accidental connection to the drinking water net-
work even after years of use. Even when there are correct labels, mistakes are
possible if children or other persons unfamiliar with the system are allowed ac-
cess.
Additionally, all points where water processed by this system is accessible outside
the system must be equipped with child-proof valves.
1.3
State Regulations
The State of Colorado has strict requirements governing the diversion and use of
rainwater. Please check local and state requirements to see if special approval
must be obtained before the installation of this or any other rainwater harvesting
equipment.
