How to use the bulk water station
Follow these steps:
1. Enter your customer account code
2. Insert your electronic key card in the kiosk at the front of the station
3. Select a pump
- Pump 9 is a full 3-inch flow located on the west side of the building
- Pump 10 is a variable rate pump located on the east side of the building. This pump works well for smaller tanks (e.g. 1000 litre residential tank).
4. Connect your hose to the selected pump connection
- Due to public health concerns, customers must provide their own hose
- A 3-inch diameter female camlock connector is required
- Female camlock connector and hose can be purchased at your local home building supply store
5. Press the button beside the pump to turn it on
6. Fill your tank to desired volume and press the button again to turn off the pump
- It takes 15-30 seconds for the water to stop flowing. This is to protect the equipment by preventing water hammer (i.e. vibrating pipes).
7. Disconnect your hose
