STEP 5
BULKHEAD INSTALLATION
• The included 2" bulkhead contains a rubber gasket and a
plastic washer. When installing the bulkhead, make sure
the rubber gasket is installed on the inside of the basin and
the rigid plastic
washer is installed
on the outside of
the basin to ensure
a watertight seal
(Figure 6).
• Remove the pump access panel
and install the 2" bulkhead into
the pre-drilled bulkhead port on
the side of the basin. Push the
bulkhead through the inside of
the basin and tighten the nut on
the outside of the AquaBasin
(Figure 7). The bulkhead is reverse
threaded; please refer to the
arrow located on the retaining nut
for proper direction.
• Tighten the nut approximately one
turn past hand-tight (Figure 8). Be careful not to over-tighten
the nut, which could lead to a crack in the bulkhead.

STEP 6
INSTALL AND LEVEL THE BASIN
• Use a soil tamper to
properly compact the
soil. This prevents any
unnecessary settling during
or after installation
(Figure 9A).
• Place a level on the bottom
of the excavation to make
sure it is level from side-to-
side and front-to-back.
• The base of the excavation should be soil that is smooth,
flat, and free of lumps or debris. If existing soil conditions
do not meet these standards, add compactable material
such as sand to provide an appropriate base for the
basin.
• When the excavation is
level, place the AquaBasin
into the hole and make
sure it sits level from side-
to-side and front-to-back
(Figure 9B). If the basin is
not level, remove it and
correct the excavation until
level.
