Single Drainage Sump & Pump
Installaton Instructions and Technical Details
Application
The AquaTank is designed to evacuate water collected from Aqua Cavity Membrane System installed in
basement applications. The AquaTank is designed to protect against future water ingress to comply with
BS8102, if the basement is wet or has running water the AquaTank Pro (twin pump) should be used.
Ground water in basement applications is collected via the Aqua Cavity Membrane System through the
clear opening at the top of the chamber.
Maintenance
The AquaTank is manufactured using high quality components designed to give a long trouble free life –
with any type of mechanical equipment regular preventative maintenance is important to keep the product
working efficiently on a day-to-day basis. We recommend this system is serviced yearly by specialist
pump engineers. Please contact us for more information.
Discharge Pipe Work
The AquaTank has been designed to accept 1¼” standard solvent weld drainage pipe, the tank is
terminated in a 1¼” BSP male thread. For all pipe work and glue please see accessories page.
Inlet
The AquaTank is provided with a 110mm inlet seal, this is supplied loose. You only need to use this seal if
you wish to add an inlet from a channel wall (as well as the clear opening at the top of the chamber).
A 140mm hole-saw will be needed to fit the seal (please see accessories page).
The 110mm inlet seal can be drilled anywhere on the chamber, but no lower than 200mm from the bottom
of the chamber; this is to ensure that the pumps can operate correctly.
Cable Duct Pipe Work
The AquaTank has been designed to accept 40mm standard low pressure push fit pipe.
Electrical Connections
The pump and high level alarm (if ordered) are to be electrically connected to a non switch fused spur
(total of two). These spurs should have their own dedicated supply from the main fuse board.
It is advisable to leave 500mm of the pump electrical cable in the sump to allow for servicing of the pump
outside of the sump.
Pump Float
Ensure the float does not foul the chamber sides. It may be necessary to rotate pipe work on pump to
achieve this as there may have been some movement during transit.
