SECURING YOUR TANK

When your tank arrives, please put at least 1" of water into the tank or otherwise secure it from being blown

away by unexpected winds. Bushman takes no responsibility for tanks being damaged in this manner.

ABOVE GROUND TANK POSITIONING ON A PAD

1. Prepare a level area at least one foot larger than the diameter of your tank. Installation on a level surface is

critical. Install 3-4" of crushed drainage rock (3/4" stones) and tamp to make level. Alternatively, a concrete

pad or pavers can be used.

2. Locate your water tank near an existing downspout or water source. If installing your tank with a BCK-0001

first flush accessory kit (recommended) keep the tank within 6' of the water source. The BCK-0001 has

precut lengths of pipe that are 6' long.

3. The tank is moved into position. If positioning requires a crane or other equipment, this cost is at the

purchaser's expense.

4. The tank must be tied down to prevent it from being blown away. Adding an inch or two of water in the

tank will help keep it secure.
