Install the Tank Gauge Plus on your tank

During setup take care not to drop the Tank Gauge or Float onto the ground as it may damage the measurement device within the unit.

1. Drill a 38mm – 44mm (1 ½” – 1 ¾”) hole in the top of the tank. Select a location where the gauge will be easily viewable, and the center should at least 150mm / 6” from the tank wall.

3. 3. Position the Mounting Plate in the hole. The Rain Harvesting logo and small arrow will face the same way as the dial once it is installed.
4. TIP! The small arrows on the mounting plate indicate which way the gauge can face when installed.
5. Screw the mounting plate to the top of the tank.
6. Holding the gauge, rotate the Empty Indicator to the tank height shown on the front label.
7. Gently lower the Float through the hole into the tank, until it rests on the water’s surface.
8. Insert the Tank Gauge into the mounting plate and twist it into position.

MAINTENANCE
