Assembly Instructions

DRILL HOLES IN RESERVOIR COVER

Drill 2" Drain Tube Hole

1.  Position the reservoir under the Dutch bucket 

frame and determine in which corner you want to 

drill the drain tube hole in the cover. 

2.  Remove the cover from the reservoir and drill 

the drain hole in the corner using a 2" hole saw. 

Do not drill cover over the reservoir. Debris will 

damage the pump and clog the filter.

Drill 1" Supply Tube Hole

1.  Using a 1" hole saw, drill the hole for the 3/4" 

supply tube from the pump. Drill this hole at the 

edge of the port hole opposite the drain tube hole. 

See the X's in the photo to the right. 

2.  Carefully remove the cover material between the 

port hole and the 1" hole using a hand saw.

Drill 5/16" Holes for the Air Pump Tubing

1.  Take a 5/16" drill bit and drill two holes 2" apart 

through cover. See photo below for location. 

ATTENTION:

 X marks hole locations based on reservoir 

design and position. 

Drill one 2" drain tube hole and one 

1" supply tube hole. Always space holes apart as shown. 

If 2" drain hole position is the other corner, drill the 1" 

supply tube hole on the opposite side of the port hole.

Move cover off reservoir. Place on support to 

drill the 2" drain hole.

2.  Remove all debris from the cover and around all 

holes to prevent it from dropping into the reservoir 

when cover is set in place.
