The Water Systems Tank Concept

The water system tank does more than simply store water. It
helps to protect the system components. A properly sized tank
will provide adequate flow even when the pump is not running. It
saves energy by reducing the number of pump starts. In addition,
the water system tank provides increased system component
life due to fewer pump cycles.
The water system tank consists of a steel tank (A) containing a
sealed-in-place heavy duty diaphragm (B) which separates air
from the water. The portion of the tank where water is stored
(C) is lined to isolate water from the metal tank. This protects
the tank from corrosion.

is pressurized to a standard
precharge as defined in the
"OPERATION" part of this

As water enters the

tank, the air above the
diaphragm is compressed
and its volume is reduced
by the volume of water that
enters.

rises. Water continues to
enter until the pump cut-out

is now filled.

4. The pressure in the
air chamber forces water
into the system when a
demand occurs without
causing the pump to operate
immediately. Pressure in the
chamber finally drops to the
pump cut-in pressure, the
pump switch activates the
pump and repeats the filling
cycle.
