2.1 Area of application
Extinguishing water, contaminated water, drainage water, rain
water, ground water, industrial water or dirty water must be
quickly and safely collected and temporarily stored in the case of
fire, floods, stormy weather, pipe bursts or accidents. It is for these
purposes that VETTER water tanks are now available.

accident prevention are to be observed as well as the generally
recognized laws in the field of technology. The required work pro-
tective clothing is to be worn at all times during operation.
When permanently or temporarily storing dangerous liquids, the
closed water tank must only be used in connection with a collec-
tion tub for safety reasons. This does not apply to emergencies
involving the fire services.

be correspondingly adapted.
Treat the water tanks carefully. Store the tanks where they will not
be subjected to frost and do not place any objects on them.
DIN 7716 must be observed when storing for long periods.
