Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for correctly installing a flexible liner in a tank for water storage. The present invention in the preferred form relates to the use of a substantially rigid outlet (20) in the flexible liner (12) that is received in a tank aperture (22) when the liner (12) is correctly installed in the tank (14).
Claims37
A method of installing a flexible liner into a tank for water storage, wherein each of the liner and tank has a base, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one substantially rigid extension attached to and extending outwardly from the liner base;
- providing at least one aperture in the tank base;
- locating the liner inside the tank;
- and
- inserting the substantially rigid extension through the tank aperture,
- wherein the substantially rigid extension and aperture are positioned such that the liner is correctly positioned in the tank once the extension is inserted through the aperture.
The method of installing a flexible liner as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the substantially rigid extension is located substantially in the centre of the liner base, and the aperture is located substantially in the centre of the tank base.
The method of installing a flexible liner as claimed in any preceding claim wherein two or more extensions and apertures are provided.
A method of installing a flexible liner into a tank for water storage, wherein each of the liner and tank has a base, the liner base having a substantially rigid extension extending outwardly and the tank base having an aperture to receive the substantially rigid extension, the method comprising the steps of:
- locating the liner inside the tank;
- and
- inserting the substantially rigid extension through the tank aperture,
- wherein the substantially rigid extension and aperture are positioned such that the liner is correctly positioned in the tank once the extension is inserted through the aperture.
A method of installing a flexible liner into a tank for water storage, wherein each of the liner and tank has a wall, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one substantially rigid extension attached to and extending outwardly from the liner wall;
- providing at least one aperture in the tank wall;
- locating the liner inside the tank;
- and
- inserting the substantially rigid extension through the tank aperture,
- wherein the substantially rigid extension and aperture are positioned such that the liner is correctly positioned in the tank once the extension is inserted through the aperture.
A method of installing a flexible liner into a tank for water storage, wherein each of the liner and tank has a wall, the liner wall having a substantially rigid extension extending outwardly and the tank wall having an aperture to receive the substantially rigid extension, the method comprising the steps of:
- locating the liner inside the tank;
- and
- inserting the liner extension through the tank aperture,
- wherein the substantially rigid extension and aperture are positioned such that the liner is correctly positioned in the tank once the extension is inserted through the aperture.
The method of installing a flexible liner as claimed in any one of the above claims wherein the substantially rigid extension is detachably received in a fitting that is attached to the liner.
A water storage system comprising:
- a tank having a base, the tank base having at least one aperture;
- and
- a flexible liner having a base and positioned in the tank to store water, the liner base having at least one substantially rigid extension attached to and extending outwardly from the liner base;
- wherein the substantially rigid extension extends through the tank aperture to correctly position the liner in the tank.
A water storage system comprising:
- a tank having a wall, the tank wall having at least one aperture;
- and
- a flexible liner having a wall and positioned in the tank to store water, the liner wall having at least one substantially rigid extension attached to and extending outwardly from the liner wall;
- wherein the substantially rigid extension extends through the tank aperture to correctly position the liner in the tank.
