Turn off the power supply to the water pump connected to the main water supply. Unwrap the new tank that is ready for installation and place it on a flat and firm ground. It is recommended to either pad where the tank will stand or use a concrete base for the tank. Make sure the tank is in an upward position before reinforcing it using a wrench to tighten bolts that normally come packaged together with the tank for its legs.
Connect the main water supply to the inlet of the retention tank using pipe connector to bridge the mains pipe and the water inlet port. The water inlet of the tank is normally found at the bottom of the tank. You may include an automated inline water chlorinator, which you can fit also at the inlet such that the water passes through it first before entering the retention tank. The chlorinator is designed to fit perfectly in line with pipes and is connected to them using normal pipe connectors. These types of chlorinators use chlorine pellets to mix with water and work depending on the pressure of passing water.
Fit a pipe to the outlet port of the tank normally found at the top of the tank using pipe connectors. This pipe is responsible for leading water away from the tank to the house’s water supply or in some cases to other water treatment equipment.
Seal all the connection points using polytetrafluroethylene paper to avoid leaks. Turn on the system’s water pumps to allow the water to enter the tank and check for any leaks in the system. Any leaks present at the connections can easily be fixed by tightening the pipe connectors or resealing the area with polytetrafluroethylene paper. If there is a leak in the pipes, you may have to replace the pipe section with another of good condition.
