Tony&Cheri - How do you make sure your tinaco is full? And is there a way to manually fill it? |
The only way to know for sure the level of water in your tinaco is to climb up on the roof, unscrew the top and check. Your tinaco has either a floatation ball or an electonic sensor to "call" for water from the pump. To manually fill it you physically manipulate either until it registers with the pump that water is needed. You hold either the flotation ball or sensor suspended in the "water needed "position as water is pumped in. When it reaches the top, drop the sensor/ball back into regular position and screw the top back on. A single tinaco should easily last for a couple days if you are conservative in water use.
