Installation Guide

A. Do not install any tank in water saturated clay or in a high water table. The tank may collapse and its contents
will escape.
B. Tanks are not fire-resistant. Do not store them near an open flame or heat in excess of 180˚F.
C. Do not install any tank under the path of vehicles or heavy equipment.
D. If a yellow or black septic tank is pumped for normal maintenance, it should be refilled immediately. If a blue
BRUISER tank or a white cistern tank is pumped empty, it should be refilled to one-fourth of capacity. Spherical
200, 300 and 500 gallon tanks may be left empty.
E. Norwesco yellow and black septic tanks, blue BRUISER tanks, and cistern tanks are designed only for use as
underground tanks.
F. Norwesco yellow or black septic tanks, with the exception of the 200, 300 and 500 gallon spherical tanks, cannot
be used as holding tanks or pump tanks because the tank may collapse if it is left empty underground.
Blue BRUISER tanks, white cistern tanks, and 200, 300 or 500 gallon spherical tanks can be used for
holding or pumping applications where permitted by local codes.
G. White cistern tanks and blue BRUISER tanks are made of resins that meet FDA specifications for the storage of
drinking water and can be used for that application. Yellow septic tanks and black septic tanks must not be used
for drinking water.
H. Protect the tank from sharp objects which could puncture it and cause leakage.
Norwesco advises against the use of a plastic underground tank for any other uses!
Such uses would void any Norwesco product warranty either stated or implied. In no event shall
Norwesco be held liable for any consequential damages.
