1INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR EUREKA TANK
Eureka Tanks are manufactured using the most advanced
technology in rotomolding, using polyethylene resins of the highest
quality, which provides great strength, lightness and durability,
maintaining unchanged the physical properties of the stored water.
Eureka Tanks provide high resistance due to their characteristic
reinforcement belts and are o ered in two presentations; Two
layer, with a white interior layer and its traditional black color
on the outside, or three-layer with a third sand-colored layer
that provides better protection, durability and aesthetics.
Eureka Tanks are easy and quick to install, avoiding the high
masonry costs required for a traditional tank. They are also
the only ones in the market that o er a 100-year warranty.
• With an internal layer of polyethylene foam for thermal
insulation. This layer is smooth and prevents particles in
suspension from adhering.
The white color of the three-layer tanks allows to observe the
quality of the water.
• With black, sand or blue (two-layer) outer coating prevents
penetration of UV rays and sunlight (prevents algae).
• With an intermediate layer (three-layer) that resists UV
rays and protects against solar rays (prevents algae and
microorganisms).
• Lid with Click lock, seals the tank and makes it easy to close or
remove the lid.
• The flange, cover and ring are replaceable as well as the  lter
and other components.
• With reinforcement struts and structured bottom
to avoid deformation of the walls and fl oor.
• In addition, Eureka Tanks are:
- Easy to install.
- Lightweight, hygienic and do not rust or deteriorate
over time.
- Easy to clean.
- They conserve water temperature.
- Resistant, durable, practical and economical.
- Protect water from algae, moss and bacteria.
-Storage tanks on a fl at surface free of objects that could damage
the tank walls or fl oor.
-Stack according to size in no more than two levels, placing the
tanks on the highest level between the two lines below. Do not
stack on top of the lower tank lids.
-Avoid storing tanks on mezzanine edges or places where they can
fall and be knocked over.
-When handling, they should not be thrown from heights, dragged
or knocked against walls or fl oors.
-Protect the connection plans and other components of the system
during handling and storage.
