DO  NOT  USE  RAINWATER  COLLECTED  WITH  THIS  EQUIPMENT  FOR 
POTABLE  APPLICATIONS  SUCH  AS  DRINKING,  SHOWERING,  OR 
COOKING unless you are using a filtration system specifically designed and 
approved for producing potable water from harvested rainwater.  Water col-
lected  with  this  system  should  only  be  used  to  water  outdoor  plantings, 
wash vehicles, or use in other outdoor cleaning tasks.  Water may be stag-
nant  or  contaminated  and  can  cause  serious  illness  and/or  death  if  in-
gested. 

 

 

When working on any electrical system and/or system components, the en-
tire  system  must  be  disabled  by  disconnecting  it  from  any  and  all  power 
sources to prevent an accidental restart. 

 

 

Except  in  the  event  of  work  carried  out  in  the  tank,  the  cover  of  the  tank 
must always be kept sealed, as any other configuration presents a very high 
risk of accident.  Only original equipment covers or covers approved in writ-
ing by manufacturer may be used. 

 

 

Separate installation instructions will be shipped with any additional manu-
facturer-approved  items  you  have  purchased.  Consult  those  instructions
