You can see that when discharging the pump, the upper valve is used. When filling the tank from a reservoir, pond or fire hydrant the lower valve is used. Remember that the dust caps should be removed when using the valve and secured back into place when not in service. Use caution when removing the dust cap as trace amounts of water will flow out from either the suction or discharge valve when opened<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/Products\/Water-Trailers\/WT-500-DT-525-Gallon-Professional-Water-Trailer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/water-trailer-valves.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/water-trailer-valves.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/water-trailer-valves-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Water trailer valves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Filling\nthe tank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filling the tank depends on where your water source is\ncoming from. You can use a suction hose and the pump to fill the tank with the\nlower valve open or you can fill through the top access hatch at the top of\nyour tank when using a fire hydrant<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use a garden hose to fill the tank through the front loading port or the access hatch. Just remember to secure the lid of the access hatch when finished working in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/connecting-water-trailer-hose.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/connecting-water-trailer-hose.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/connecting-water-trailer-hose-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Connecting the water trailer hose<a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/Products\/Water-Trailers\">https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/Products\/Water-Trailers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pumping into the water trailer tank through the lower valve is the quickest way to fill your tank. First remove the dust cap and pins from the valve and set them on the deck. You can now connect the non collapsible hose to the valve. Remember to place the pins into the coupling for a secure seal. Next set the main tank valve to the nine o\u2019clock position. Set the suction valve to the nine o\u2019clock position and set the discharge valve to the closed or twelve o\u2019clock position. Start the engine and you are ready to pump into the tank from a pond, reservoir or fire hydrant. There are volume markers at the rear of the tank to show you how much water is in the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/water-trailer-vlog.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/water-trailer-vlog.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/water-trailer-vlog-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Water Trailer &#8211; Tandem axle with galvanized frame and diamond plate deck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discharging\nthe tank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To empty your water trailer tank or use the non-collapsible\ndischarge hose for water delivery, the top valve is what delivers water to the\nhose. First, remove the dust cap and two pins on the top suction valve. Place\nthe dust cap and pins on the deck. Next connect the hose to the discharge valve\nand secure the camlocks and pins. The main tank valve should be in the six\no\u2019clock position. The lower suction valve should be in the closed or 12:00\nposition and the upper discharge valve should be in the nine o\u2019clock position.\nStart your engine and you are ready to discharge from the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to use two hands when handling the hose as the\ndischarge pressure is powerful. The discharge nozzle can be adjusted to\nconstant flow, spray pattern or off position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discharge Using\nRetractable Hose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use your retractable hose, hose reel and garden spray\nnozzle, set the main tank valve to the six o\u2019clock position. Set the lower\nsuction valve to the closed or 12:00 position , set the upper suction valve to\nthe nine o\u2019clock position and set the hose reel valve to the nine-o\u2019clock\nposition. Start the engine and wait a few moments as the pump primes. Begin\nspraying .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using The Rear Sprayers\n\n\n\nTo use your rear spray nozzles set the main tank\nvalve to the six o\u2019clock position. Set the lower suction valve to the closed or\n12:00 position. Set the upper discharge valve to the nine oclock position and\nset the rear sprayer valve on the pump to the three o\u2019clock position. Start the\nengine.
