Installation
Cross-section of final installation
The WaterPro2 is designed to provide reliable fresh water to your livestock all year round.
When installing the WaterPro2 pay attention to the following areas:
•
Choose a location where the tank will be sheltered from the elements.
•
The vertical water supply line and the horizontal water supply line should all be installed to reach more than 1
foot (305m) below the usual frost line.
•
The concrete slab should have a 4 inch (102 mm) by 18 inch (457 mm) apron from the tank to the concrete
edge.
•
Ensure that the placement of the water and electric access hole in the concrete aligns with the anticipated
placement of the water and electric access cavity of the waterer.
•
Make sure your vertical water supply line protrudes
10 inches (254 mm) above the concrete slab
.
•
The water supply line should be centered in the thermal earth tube (if using) to help discourage frost formation.
•
To be effective, the thermal earth tube(s)* must be installed to reach at least 1 foot (305 mm) below the usual
frost line.
*Note that more than one thermal earth tube may be required.
•
Care should be taken to ensure the electric service below ground is installed outside of the thermal earth tube.
•
It is recommended to caulk the base of the tank to prevent moisture and wind penetration.
In addition to the shut-off valve located inside the unit, we strongly recommend that a second, external shut-off valve
be installed outside of the concrete.
