1.
Read
in
advance
and
follow
the
installation
instructions
provided
with
the
system:
your
guarantee
is
affected
if
you
do
not
install
correctly.
2.
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.
3.
Dirt
in
tank
:
Do
not
install
or
start
the
pump
before
all
grit
(building
rubble)
and
plastic
swarf
are
removed
from
the
bottom
of
the
tank
with
a
separate
dirty
water
pump
4.
Pump
input
:
The
pump
is
supplied
with
a
cartridge
filter
and
1
inch
strainer
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.
6.
Pump
connections
:
output
pipe
(usually
supplied
and
25mm
HDPE)
runs
out
of
the
top
of
the
pump
and
is
cut
to
length
to
run
straight
upwards
to
a
right
angle
connector
(Supplied)
from
which
the
pipe
runs
in
to
the
house
through
the
4
inch
service
pipe.
This
right
angle
connector
must
be
within
30cms
of
the
surface
of
the
ground
(even
if
extension
sleeves
are
fitted)
so
that
it
can
be
undone
in
the
future
for
removal
of
the
pump.
