With our Watchman products, monitoring your tank level has never been easier. All EcoSafe tanks are equipped with a Watchman tank pack, which enables you to check your oil level remotely as the information is wirelessly transmitted to the receiver. To prevent thefts, it also activates an alarm if there is a sudden drop of oil. This reliable measurement and control pack will help you to keep a constant check on oil levels 24/7.

Regular maintenance of your domestic oil tank should be carried out, including visual inspections looking for rust, damage and cracks, and that the mechanisms and tank gauges are working correctly – check out our Tank Health Check for more information. If anything doesn’t look right, a professional should be contacted to offer a secondary inspection. Regardless, we recommend that you get your oil tank serviced by one of our OFTEC certified installers once a year. Oil tanks should be cleaned out every 3-5 years, depending on household size and tank use.

Oil theft from your tank can be avoided with simple steps to discourage would-be thieves. Try to keep your tank hidden if possible, apply locks to all caps and vents and attach an oil alarm. With a Kingspan Watchman, you will receive an instant notification if the oil level in your tank suddenly drops. The Watchman tank pack fits all Titan oil tanks.

Oil tanks must always be installed by a competent technician or preferably an OFTEC approved installer. 

It is important to consider the base and support for your oil tank. It’s advised that the base should be:

• Adequate for the weight of the tank and its contents
• Non-combustible, imperforate and level
• Constructed of concrete, paving stones or stonework
• Large enough to extend 300mm beyond all sides of the tank.

The tank itself can be weakened over time leading to leakages if it is not supported correctly. Ground conditions over time may also change and it is important to ensure the structural support remains in its original condition.

Before installing your new oil tank, consider the following points: the location of your tank, a level and solid foundation, and accessibility for the delivery driver to fill it up. It is important to follow correct installation steps to maintain tank warranty. If you are replacing an old tank, you should also think about removal and disposal in an environmentally friendly way.
