Cross-section of final installation

The WaterWell is designed to provide reliable fresh water to your livestock all year round.
When installing the WaterWell 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 (305 m) below the usual frost line.
The concrete slab should have a 4 inch (102 mm) by 24 inch (610 mm) apron from the tank to the concrete
•
edge.
Ensure that the placement of the water access hole in the concrete aligns with the anticipated placement of the
•
water access cavity of the waterer.
WaterWell 2: Make sure that your vertical water supply line with ¾ inch male NPT fitting attached is
•
¾ - 1 inch (19 - 25 mm) below the top of concrete.
WaterWell 4: Make sure that your vertical water supply line with ¾ inch male NPT fitting attached is
•
2 inches (51 mm) above the top of concrete.
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.
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.

*Note that more than one thermal earth tube may be required.
