When setting up a Buoy wall tank, how much water should be in the tank before increasing the flow rate?

The correct focus when setting up a Buoy wall tank is to ensure that there is sufficient water in the tank to stabilize the buoyancy and prevent issues during the flow of liquid. In this context, having one foot of water is typically considered adequate for initial stabilization. This level allows for the tank to begin functioning properly while providing enough water weight to counteract any potential buoyancy effects from the inflow of fluid. It acts as a preliminary safeguard against sudden shifts in buoyancy that could be caused by the flow increase.

As the flow rate is increased, having this foundational level of water ensures that the tank structure is sound and reduces the risk of floating or shifting, which can compromise the overall operation and safety of the tank. In contrast, higher water levels may be unnecessary for the initial stage of setup, making one foot the most practical choice.
