Aquatank II has two fittings - one for filling (female connection) and the other one for draining (male connection). To fill, make sure the brass cap on the male connection is secure. Screw a garden hose* into the brass female connection or the supplied nylon fitting.* Turn on the water supply. It would not be prudent not to leave the Aquatank II unattended while filling. The 60 gallon Aquatank II will take approximately 20 minutes to fill, depending on your local water pressure. Fill your Aquatank II until it is the shape of a pillow (approximately 6" tall) BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER FILL. Over filling may cause damage to the Aquatank II.

*Food grade garden hoses are available at various department and hardware stores.

Store your Aquatank II in a safe, cool, dry and clean place. Before you use (or if you are re-using) Aquatank II, purify it by placing 3 to 5 gallons of water with 1/2 teaspoon drops of bleach added to it (non-scented bleach and not pool chlorine) and then fully drain. Now you can fill your Aquatank II. The purity of the water in Aquatank II is only as good as what you put in it. Contaminated water or suspect water is not potable and should be discarded and not used for cooking or drinking. To give longer storage life to any stored water, keep it out of sunlight and keep it cool as possible. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for the quality of the water stored in the unit - please use common sense. We encourage you to do your own research on long term water storage.

• Do not stand, lie, or sit on Aquatank II and keep all sharp objects away.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
• Keep all animals away from Aquatank II.
• Although the material used to make Aquatank II has a strong chemical resistance, do not spill any oils, solvents and chemicals on it. If a spill should occur, wipe off immediately.
• Be wary of any spill or leak potential. Place Aquatank II in an area where leaks or spills will not affect anything else. If water spills onto the unit while filling, the water has a tendency to migrate to the edge of the welded seams, which may appear that the unit is leaking, when in essence it is not.
• It is advised that you not store Aquatank II (or any large water container) in your attic. Remember that water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon, therefore a mere 60 gallons weighs just under 500 pounds.
• Note No petroleum products should be placed in the Aquatank II
