4.2.1 Tank Positioning
Chalk lines are recommended for multiple tank installations and should be laid for positioning
each tank. The shipping pallet for the filter also serves as an anchor bolt hole template(s) to
aid in positioning the filter tank(s).
Attention must be paid to the location and routing of the influent, effluent and waste line
plumbing when planning the proper location of the filter system. The tanks must be level and
parallel to each other or damage may occur to filter tanks, operating valves or connecting
piping.
Anchor bolts, nuts and flat washers can be purchased. Anchor bolts must be installed and
secured to comply with the requirement of specific seismic zones. If the filter room floor is not
level, shims must be used to level the tanks or the face piping plumbing connections may
break or leak.
Select one of the following appropriate assembly steps for your filter system:
4.2.1.1 Positioning Single Tank
Position the tank in the desired location, drill anchor bolt holes, and install anchor bolts,
washers and nuts. Tighten nuts to secure filter system.
4.2.1.2 Positioning Multiple Tanks
Position the tank positioning templates along the chalk line. The templates, when butted
together side by side, will ensure the proper alignment of filter tank to filter tank and tanks to
face piping.
The pallet template footprint is 6" larger than the filter tank. If you are positioning the rear of the
filter tank six (6") inches away from the mechanical room wall, you must set the templates at
the "C" dimension for proper anchor/ tank location (see figure 4-1).
