    What is a Break Tank?

    Break tanks are used for storing water for boosted water systems as a main supply to the property if there’s inadequate pressure from the main supply, ensuring no cross contamination can enter the main water supply. When used in tall structures, the break tanks can be used as intermediate tanks to split the system into different zones.

    Break Tanks Explained

    What are the advantages of using a Break Tank?

    • High system resilience as there is a large volume of water stored in the break tanks.
    • Reduced demand on the power grid due to relatively low power from the booster.
    • Less receptive to electrical fall outs.
    • Low product lifetime cost.
    • Prevent cross contamination to the main water supply

    What are the disadvantages of using a Break Tank?

    • More space required for lager systems.
