What type of base is suitable for Stainless Steel tank?
Our recommendation is to always use a concrete base, for the reason that stainless steel on a concrete base will last as long as you’re house, if not longer. Regardless, we estimate that approximately half of our tanks are placed on crusher dust or sand. This acceptable, but measures must be taken to ensure that the crusher dust cannot be undermined by water or vermin’s. A typical example is that the overflow water is allowed to run down on the outside of the tank (in this context it has to be noted that overflow water on the outside of an aquaplate tank will immediately void the Blue scope warranty). This is no issue with a Stainless Steel tank, but if this water undermines (washes away) the base of the tank and would consequently damage the tank, any warranty claim will be denied. For this reason, it is appropriate to enclose the crusher dust with sleepers, bricks, besser blocks or similar. It is always a good practice to pipe the overflow away from the tank. Pavers can also be used
