1General Instructions
The instructions in this user manual must be carefully noted and followed. All those involved in the
installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the product must have read and understood this user
manual.
We reserve the right to make technical changes to the illustrations and details in the user manual in order
to improve the storage system.
1.1 Intended use of the equipment
PolySafe Depots Type C / 2C / D are suited to the storage of water-polluting substances in all water-
polluting classes WGK 1-3 in accordance with WHG / VAUwS (Water Hazard Law / Ordinance on Facilities
for Handling Substances Hazardous to Water) with a flashpoint over 100°C, which are stored in approved
containers, either indoors or outdoors. Fluids in accordance with DIBt media list 40-1.1 with a reduction
ratio A2 = 1.0 require no special proof of sealing and resistance, which also applies to the following
materials groups: aqueous solutions of organic acids up to 10%, mineral acids up to 20 % as well as acid
hydrolising salts in an aqueous solution (ph<6) apart from hydrofluoric acid and oxidising acids and salts,
inorganic alkalis as well as alkali hydrolising salts in an aqueous solution (pH > 8), with the exception of
ammonia solutions and oxidising solutions of salts (eg hypochlorite), solutions of inorganic non-oxidising
salts with a pH value between 6 and 8.
The storage systems should be used exclusively within the performance parameters listed in "
Technical data".
1.2 Misuse
The following are considered as misuse:
Storage of inadmissible materials: The resistance of the sump material to the storage medium must
be demonstrated.
Use of the sump for purposes other than those specified in section 1.1 Intended use of the
equipment .
Storage of inadmissible containers: Containers must comply with guidelines for the transport of
hazardous goods.
Unapproved combinations: Media which can react with one another may not be stored above the
same sump.
Exceeding storage quantity and load capacity.
