Break Tanks- Brochure

Amos Break Tanks offer complete protection against water supply contamination caused by backflow as required in Category 4 Risk Ar-eas as specified in the “The Water Supply (water fittings) Regulations 1999 [Statutory Instrument no. 1148] of 1999”. They also pro-vide a stored water facility and are useful in low pressure supply areas. They are intended primarily for installing into water feeds to appliances in the hospitality industry where after use by the appliance the water must be considered a waste product. The units include a high-quality brass PM46 pressure-boosting pump; an easy-clean, hygienic 10-litre polyethyl-ene tank complete with ballvalve water inlet and overflow; and a Presscontrol electronic pressure control. No bulky pressure vessel is needed. They have a small footprint and will fit comforta-bly under a standard-height kitchen worktop, a par-ticularly convenient feature when being added to an existing installation. They are supplied complete and ready to connect and run. Connection to the unit should be as a dedicated feed to appliances and to no other service.

When an appliance calls for water, the resulting pressure drop switches the pump on; when demand ceases, the pump is switched off. The Presscontrol also protects against the pump running dry, and eliminates water-hammer. It requires no maintenance or regulation.
