Have you turned off the water?

Step 1: Preparing the site

1 Choose a location that is easily accessible by livestock and sheltered from the elements.
2 Check the measurements of your WaterPro2 against the size of the concrete slab you need. See
alignment
on page 5.
3 In the WaterPro2, the access cavity for the vertical water supply and electric supply is off center. Align the thermal earth tube
so that the vertical water supply is as close to the center of the tube as possible. Take care to ensure that the vertical water
supply line does not touch the sides of the thermal earth tube as this will cause the supply line to freeze. See
tank hole alignment
on page 5.
Check that you have aligned the hole in the concrete with the access cavity under the WaterPro2.

Step 2: Installing the water supply lines

1 The horizontal water supply line should be at least 1 foot (305 mm) below the frost line.
2 Strongly recommended: If installing a shut-off valve, install it on the horizontal water supply line leading up to the tank and
ensure it is located outside of the perimeter of the concrete slab.
3 The vertical water supply line should be a ½ inch in diameter to connect to the horizontal water supply line. If your vertical
water supply line is larger than ½ inch, you will also need an adapter.
4 Run the vertical water supply line about 10 inches (250 mm) above ground. You will cut it to a more precise length later.

Step 3: Installing the electric service for the heat immersion cable

1 Arrange for your electrician to install the electric service around the same time you are installing the water supply lines.
Warning!
The electric service should only be installed by a qualified / certified electrician.
2 The electric supply must run outside of the thermal earth tube, be properly ground, and be installed and maintained in
accordance with applicable electric codes.

Step 4: Installing a thermal earth tube

1 Install a thermal earth tube around the vertical water supply line. It must be at least 1 foot (305 mm) below the frost line.
Ensure that the vertical water supply line is centered within the thermal earth tube.
2 If you are in a colder climate, we recommend an additional thermal earth tube be used to extend its length by at least another
foot (305 mm).
