Positioning the storage tank

Before installing the storage tank, the static load capacity of its supporting surface must be checked. The
weight of the filled storage tank, including any potentially installed accessories, must not exceed the permissible
floor or ceiling load!
The area on which the storage tank is positioned must be even and enable the storage tank to remain vertical at
all times. The storage tank must be placed in a watertight leak basin with a sufficient capacity or be able to drain
off any water that escapes via a floor drain.
The storage tank must be placed in a frost-resistant room. All cables must be as short as possible and frost-
resistant. The end of the outlet line must also be positioned in the frost-resistant area.
The gaps between the storage tank and walls, ceilings and non-mobile obstacles must be selected to enable
easy installation, removal, inspections and maintenance. Above all, flanges must be accessible and it must be
possible to install and uninstall anodes and any electrical heating cartridges.
The positioning and installation must be carried out by an authorised specialist company!
The applicable standards and engineering practices must be observed!!
