Why iS my tank not holding pressure?
Your Day Tank™ is designed to hold pressure for up to 3 months without use. If your
Day Tank has lost pressure it could be due to parts being loose. Make sure all parts are
securely fastened to the system. Hand tighten your 2 inch cap to insure that the O ring
has created an airtight seal. Make sure your on/off valve is tight and the valve remains in
the off position when not in use.
Why does my tank have low pressure after filling?
If your relief valve opens, it will release most of the tanks pressure. If this happens, you
will need to completely refill your tank. Empty your tank of all its water, then reconnect
the hose to fill and re-pressurize.
Why is my tank not spraying water when full?
First, check to see if your shut off valve is open. Second, make sure your tank is lying
horizontal and on a flat surface so that water is able to flow out the hose port.
Why does my water pressure only last 30 seconds
while spraying?
This is likely due to having left over water in the tank when refilling. In order for the tank
to fully pressurize, you need to completely empty the water out of the tank before
each refill.
How do I properly mount my tank to my Vehicle?

How do I lock my Day Tank to the vehicle mount?
While your tank is resting in the vehicle mount, locate the hole in the tip of the mounting
bracket, and slide a padlock through. The lock will block the tank from being removed.
Can I drive with my tank pressurized?
Yes, of course you can. It would defeat the point of the Day Tank if you couldn’t do that!
