ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION OPTIONS
BALANCE TANK
The Water Witch is the most
effective auto leveller for
balance tank installations.
Maintaining a minimum
water level in the balance
tank will ensure the pump
and pool equipment is
protected whilst also
allowing for the high water level
fluctuations caused by bather
activity and excess rainwater.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• The Sensor should be housed inside 50mm class 9 or class 12 PVC pipe attached to
the wall of the balance tank. Fasten the pipe to the wall with brackets, ensuring there
is enough clearance at the top to attach the Sensor end cap.
• Run the Sensor cable through appropriately-sized conduit to ensure the Sensor can
be accessed for serviceability and replaced if required.
• Small debris capable of affecting sensor performance can build up inside balance
tanks. It is advisable to protect the sensor from small debris by covering it with a
silt sock or stocking. Alternatively, cover the base of the sensor pipe housing with
gauze so debris is blocked while water can still move freely.
• An overflow provision will need to be installed at the maximum water height
inside the balance tank.
