Pre-Installation Check List

Prior to installing your Owens KLEEN TANK™, please make sure you've made provisions for the following requirements:

Electrical Requirements:
The Owens KLEEN TANK™ blower standard requirements, unless otherwise specified, are 115/208-230 Volt 1Ø, 60 Hz, TEFC. All wiring should be performed in accordance with applicable Codes and Standards, such as ABYC, USCG, NEC, etc.

Temperatures:
The Owens KLEEN TANK™ operating temperatures are 40-120 degrees F. The Owens KLEEN TANK™ must be protected from freezing. If the unit has not been winterized in accordance with the Storage and Winterization Procedures found in your paper manual, it could be damaged and need internal repairs.

Water Requirements:
The Owens KLEEN TANK™ can operate using fresh, brackish, or salt water. The salinity of the water cannot exceed 4% NaCl.

Toilet Requirements:
Owens recommends a low-flush (1.6 gal/flush) toilet be utilized with your KLEEN TANK™, for proper operation. Use of any other type of toilet will alter the treatment capacity of your system.

Maximum Allowable Tilt Angle:
The Owens KLEEN TANK™ will maintain treatment efficiency with vessel pitch and roll angles of up to 150. Angles greater than 150 can stop the unit from working properly until it has been serviced, to start the digestive process again. No physical damage will occur at angles less than 300.

Tank Capacity:
The Owens KLEEN TANK™ is designed to operate completely full. The design of this system is one of positive displacement - the transfer of liquid through the treatment plant.

Explosive Environment:
The Owens KLEEN TANK™ is NOT CERTIFIED FOR USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT. (Explosion proof equipment is an optional item and would incur additional expense. For more information, please contact your Authorized Distributor or Rep.) The blower MUST have fresh air available for use.

*The treatment capacity expressed in number of persons per 24 hours depends on the type of toilet used with the system. The above capacities are based on the use of an approved toilet. These capacities are not guaranteed when the Owens KLEEN TANK™ is used with unapproved toilets. Owens Mfg. & Specialty Co., Inc. recommends using a 1.6 gallon per flush toilet.
