Step 8: Filling the tank

a Check that both drain plugs are screwed in tightly.
b Turn on the water supply to fill the tank and check for leaks. If no leaks are found, put the flotation balls in the tank,
attach the tank top and float reservoir lid and fasten with supplied hardware.
c Drill ½ inch holes in the concrete using the moulded mounting openings found on each corner of the WaterWell.
d Insert anchor bolts in each hole. Place washers over anchor bolts, then apply the nut. Tighten the nut and repeat on all
four corners so that the WaterWell is securely mounted.
e We recommend caulking the perimeter of the tank to protect it from wind and debris.

Step 9: Setting the water level

Remove the float reservoir lid. Adjust the water to the desired level using the top and bottom spacers on the float. Once the
water level is set, attach the float reservoir lid and tighten hardware.
When training cattle, adjust float to the lowest setting.
In the winter, check that the flotation balls are not floating up tightly against the drink holes as this may cause
them to freeze shut in the openings. Adjust the water level so that there is a credit card's width of space
between the balls and the drink opening.

Pressure and flow capacity

You may need to install a pressure reducer on the vertical water supply line in hilly areas where the water pressure is affected.
