Installation Guide
To ensure a long and trouble free life of your tank, site
preparation and proper pipe work installation is important.
Please ensure the following guide is complied with.
Maxicubes
- We recommend that the 500L, 700L and 1050L Maxicube Tanks are installed on a solid level concrete base, we can supply reinforced concrete blocks for the tanks or a suitable concrete slab should be installed.
- The warranty will be void if flexible hose is not fitted from the
valve to a pump or a fixed pipe work. Flexible hose with a
minimum 300mm length will absorb any movement.
- The overflow must be plumbed away from the tank, to
prevent water from scouring and undermining the tank
base.
Round Tanks
- A firm solid base, 300mm larger than the base of your tank
using dolomite sand or similar with a minimum thickness of
75mm, compacted to give a smooth level base. Concrete
slab is suitable; refer to your local authority for thickness
and reinforcing specifications.
- If the tank is to be placed on a stand, ensure the structure
is sound and capable of carrying the weight,
1litre of water = 1 kilogram. Timber decking must have no
more than 50mm gap.
- The warranty will be void if flexible hose is not fitted from the
valve to a pump or a fixed pipe work. Flexible hose with a
minimum 300mm length will absorb any movement.
- The overflow must be plumbed away from the tank, to
prevent water from scouring and undermining the tank
base.
