TOOLS/MATERIALS YOU MAY REQUIRE

INSTALLATION
- If your tank is already being used, make sure to empty it prior to installing the Floating Off Take Valve. Be sure to also remove any sediment from the bottom of the tank at this stage.
- Confirm that the tank is fitted with a 25mm outlet (1 inch BSP).
- Measure the distance between the tank outlet and the overflow. The length of the hose can be trimmed if needed to suit the distance between the tank outlet and the overflow– though in most circumstances this is not necessary.
- Prepare the thread of the Floating Off Take Valve with Teflon thread tape.
- Screw the Floating Off Take Valve into the tank outlet.
- Refill the tank.
HOW IT WORKS
The Floating Off Take Valve uses a float to suspend a hose below the surface of the water in your tank. The hose is connected to the tank outlet and allows the cleanest water in the tank to be drawn rather than water from the base of the tank where sediment is deposited.
MAINTENANCE
Your Floating Off Take Valve is fitted with a stainless steel filter to prevent debris from entering the valve. Periodically check the filter to make sure that it doesn’t become obstructed.
