Tank Filling and Water Treatment
1. Remove Rubber Fill Plug from the top of the tank.
2. Place a large bucket of water next to the rower and position siphon with the rigid
hose in the bucket and the flexible hose into the tank as shown. Note: Make
sure small breather valve on the top of the siphon is closed before filling.
Note:
Where water quality is known to be poor, FDF recommends the use of
distilled water.
3. Begin filling tank by squeezing siphon. Use Level Gauge Decal on side of tank to
measure volume of water in tank. Important: Do not overfill tank!
4. After filling tank to the desired water level, open the valve on the top of the
siphon to allow excess water to escape.
5. Ensure that Tank Plug is replaced once filling and water treatment procedures
are complete.
Tips on Siphon use
: Putting the fill bucket higher than the tank will allow the
siphon to "self-pump" when adding water to the tank.
