and

 

follow

 

the

 

installation

 

instructions

 

provided

 

with

Tank

:

 

if

 

the

 

water

 

table

 

is

 

within

 

a

 

metre

 

of

 

the

 

surface

 

of

 

the

 

ground

 

you

 

should

 

not

 

install

 

this

 

style

 

of

 

tank

 

but

 

look

 

to

 

using

 

a

 

shallow

 

dig

 

tank

 

or

 

in

 

extreme

 

cases

 

where

 

the

 

water

 

table

 

is

 

very

 

high

 

a

 

Rondus

 

tank

 

would

 

be

 

most

 

suitable.

 

Otherwise

 

backfill

 

the

 

tank

 

to

 

the

 

shoulder

 

with

 

pea

 

shingle

 

(top

 

soil

 

round

 

the

 

turret),

 

making

 

sure

 

that

 

the

 

manufacturers

 

guidelines

 

are

 

followed.

before

 

all

 

grit

 

(building

 

rubble)

 

and

 

plastic

 

swarf

 

are

 

removed

 

from

 

the

 

bottom

The

 

pump

 

is

 

supplied

 

with

 

a

 

cartridge

 

filter

pre

fitted

 

onto

 

the

 

input

 

of

 

this

 

pump.

 

Do

 

not

 

remove

 

these

 

as

 

this

 

could

 

invalidate

 

your

 

warranty.

 

5.

 

Pump

 

priming

:

 

it

 

is

 

essential

 

that

 

the

 

pump

 

is

 

primed

 

by

 

removing

 

the

 

half

 

inch

 

black

 

cap

 

and

 

pouring

 

approximately

 

5

 

litres

 

of

 

water

 

into

 

the

 

pump

 

through

 

a

 

funnel;

 

failing

 

to

 

do

 

this

 

will

 

cause

 

the

 

pump

 

to

 

burn

 

itself

 

out

 

even

 

if

 

submerged

 

and

 

invalidate

 

your

 

warranty.

:

 

output

 

pipe

 

(usually

 

supplied

 

and

 

25mm

runs

 

out

 

of

 

the

 

top

 

of

 

the

 

pump

 

and

 

is

 

cut

 

to

 

length

 

to

 

run

 

straight

 

upwards

 

to

 

a

the

 

pipe

 

runs

 

in

 

to

 

the

 

house

 

through

 

the

 

4

 

inch

This

 

right

30cms

 

of

 

the

 

surface

 

of

 

the

 

ground

 

(even

 

if

 

extension
