Water Tank Installation Guide:
There are several factors that will determine the most appropriate location of your rainwater tank. First
walk around your house and note the locations of your downpipes. The closer the tank is to a downpipe,
the simpler your install will be.
Once you have selected an appropriate site, you can begin to prepare this site for the tank.
1. Check the relevant regulations relating to rainwater tank installation with your local council.
2. Your S-Line rainwater tank should be handled with care. When moving into position, avoid rough
and sharp surfaces.
3. All SlimlineTanks must be installed on a level concrete slab (min 75mm) slightly wider than tank
(100mm) length and width approximately 100mm if it allows.
4. Tank must have a minimum clearance of 50mm from walls or fence
5. All threaded fittings must be hand tight only using teflon tape.
6. Water tank stands can be used but must be designed by a qualified consulting engineer.
For further information on how to install a water tank in your local state please use the Australian
Installation Handbook’ HB 230 -200.
