a hydrant may be greater than the flow capacity
of tank air vent. Overfilling the tank will cause
excessive pressure and damage the tank.
Only use potable water (clean enough to drink)
to increase the service life of the components in
the Ultra-High Pressure system. Always flush the
water source for several minutes prior to filling
the tank to help ensure that no debris enters the
system. Additionally, the tank should be flushed
frequently with clean, fresh water to prevent the
accumulation of debris that may accidently enter
the tank.
There is a 4” ball valve on the passenger side bot-
tom of the tank that allows for quick draining of
the tank when flushing is required and complete
draining for system winterization. Another 4”
valve on the driver side provides drainage for the
wastewater bladder. A large man-way hatch on
the top of the tank provides access to the interior
of the tank or wastewater bladder for inspection
or to facilitate cleaning.
Remember that the wastewater bladder displaces
clean water in the tank as it fills, causing the site
gauge to show more water than is actually in the
tank. The site gauge is intended to provide an ac-
curate indication of the water level during filling

operations only. It is not a reliable level indicator
during operation when the transfer pump is being
used to collect recovered wastewater.
Use actual blasting time during operation with
an average pump consumption of 5 gallons per
minute to estimate the remaining clean water in
the tank. To ensure maximum clean water volume,
always completely drain the wastewater bladder
before filling the clean water tank.
