- Patch: Two patches are included for minor repairs.
- User manual: Provides instructions for use and maintenance.
Inlet and Outlet:
- Top intake: 1.5-inch diameter for filling the tank.
- Drain valve: 1.5-inch diameter for emptying the tank.
Design Features:
- Scale: Integrated scale on the side to indicate water volume (in gallons and liters).
- Hanging rings: Located at the four corners for securing the tank.
Usage Features
Filling the Tank:
- Ensure the outlet valve is closed before filling.
- Fill the liquid from the inlet valve located on the top of the tank.
- The diameter of the water injection tube should be less than 1.5 inches to allow air to escape from the tank during filling, preventing airlocks and ensuring efficient filling.
- All accessories, especially the valves, must be firmly tightened by hand to prevent leakage.
Draining the Tank:
- The drain valve is installed by clockwise tightening. It is noted that the outlet valve is larger and requires more forceful tightening until it is centered to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- The valve has an "off" status, indicating when it is closed.
Portability and Storage:
- The tank is designed to be unrolled for use and can be easily rolled up for storage when empty, making it highly portable and space-saving.
Maintenance Features
Cleaning:
- Use a mild detergent and water for cleaning the tank.
- Avoid scrubbing with hard objects like brushes, as this could damage the PVC material.
- Regularly clean any debris at the filter port to prevent clogging and maintain optimal flow.
Storage:
- Ensure the tank is completely dry before storing it to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Store the tank in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and damp conditions. Avoid dark, damp places.
Repairs:
- In case of damage to the barrel body, the included patches can be used for repair. Users will need to provide their own glue for this purpose.
Leak Prevention and Repair (Joints):
- If a joint is leaking, first attempt to tighten it further.
- If tightening is insufficient, wrap waterproof tape (not included, users must provide their own) around the thread of the joint before re-installing it. This creates a better seal.
- If installing or removing connectors yourself and the switch does not align vertically, increasing the number of winding laps of waterproof tape can help achieve a better seal and proper orientation.
General Care:
- The robust PVC material and thoughtful design contribute to the longevity of the product, provided proper care and maintenance are followed.
- The product comes with support and an e-warranty certificate, accessible via the VEVOR website, for customer assistance.
