3. Setup and Installation
This section details how to replace your existing dirty water tank with the new original Dreame tank.
- **Power Off**: Ensure your Dreame H15 Pro or T40 Ultra wet dry vacuum robot is powered off and unplugged from its charging base before proceeding.

- **Proper Sealing**: Ensure the tank is correctly seated and sealed in the vacuum before starting a cleaning cycle to avoid leaks.
