FAQs
If there is no water flow to the upper-shelf tanks, how do you adjust the flow to the tanks?
In order to regulate the water pressure, you will need to perform a “10 Minute Flow Test”.
NOTE: Flow test is for tanks smaller than 9.5 liters.
1.
Adjust the tank supply valve on a tank on the bottom shelf so the tank will fill completely in 10 minutes.
NOTE: If any tank fills faster than 10 minutes, there is not enough water pressure to fill the upper tanks.
2.
Proceed up the shelves, adjusting the valve on each tank, until every tank fills completely in 10 minutes.
