Installing the tank on board

• Place it on a flat, clean surface with no sharp edges or protruding screws; wedge it so it does not rub while underway.
• Keep the fittings at least 10 cm from edges.
• Fill from the highest point to let the air escape, and draw water from the lowest point.
• With two tanks (port and starboard), separate them with a valve so they do not empty into each other when the boat heels.
• Check that the fittings are tight a few days after installation.

Cleaning the tank
Before first use, at the start of each season and after winter storage: half-fill the tank with lukewarm water with about 5% diluted bleach added. Empty after a few hours, then rinse several times with clean water (hoses included). Before filling at the pontoon, let the tap run for a few minutes.
