Stripe Hog Systems
Clean Water Tank
The forward tanks on the truck chassis are re-
served for the clean water supply. The clean
water tanks are a modular design constructed of
polyethylene material. The Stripe Hog can accom-
modate up to three interconnected tanks, each
with a capacity of 1000 US gallons (3587 liters)
to provide a constant supply of clean, fresh water
to the charge water pump. The tanks are coupled
together by hoses and ttings at the bottom of
each tank. A site tube provides a quick view of the
water level from outside the truck. The operator
can monitor the water level in the cab using the
CLEAN gauge in the Programmable Logic Control-
ler (PLC) located on the joystick console.
The ll connection on either side of the forward
tank accommodates large hoses that are typically
connected to a metered source like a re hydrant
to expedite the lling of the tank. Operators must
always monitor the tanks closely during lling op-
erations as the ow of water from a hydrant is far
greater than the ow through the interconnecting
tank hoses and the ow capacity of tank air vent.
Overlling the tank or tanks will cause excessive
pressure and damage the tanks. It is normal to
pause the water ow several times during lling
operations to allow water to ow from the forward
tank to the other tanks through the interconnect-
ing hoses and ttings to equalize the water level.
Only use potable water (clean enough to drink)
to increase the service life of the components in
your Ultra-high pressure system. Always ush the
water source for several minutes prior to lling
the tank to help ensure that no debris enters the
system. Additionally, the tanks should be ushed
frequently with clean, fresh water to prevent the
accumulation of debris that may accidently en-
ter the tank. There is a 4” ball valve that allows
for quick draining of the tanks when ushing is
required. Another valve connected to the tank
equalizing hoses provides complete draining for
system winterization. A large manhole on the top
of each tank provides access to the interior of the
tanks for inspection or facilitate tank cleaning.
