Operation

• Access: The lid features a dual zip for easy access to the water.
• Filtration: The lid includes a polyester/PVC mesh filter to prevent large debris like leaves from entering.
• Overflow: The 1.2m hose can be attached to the overflow pipe to direct excess water away from the tank area.
• Positioning: Place the tank on level, solid ground to ensure stability.
• Stabilization: Once in place, pour a small quantity of water into the tank to stabilize it.
• Connection: The lower tap is compatible with standard female hosepipe connectors (not supplied) for connecting garden tools or pressure washers.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the tank after each use with a stiff-bristled brush.
• Storage: Always dry the tank thoroughly before storing and keep it in a frost-free environment.
• Inspection: Regularly check all fittings and materials for damage or leaks.
• Repairs: If a rip occurs, use the provided repair patch. Always test the adhesive on a small section of the patch first, as some adhesives may melt the PVC material.
