Pallas PWG APT-450 Pressure Storage Tank – 450 Litres (1¼" BSP with Base)
The Pallas PWG APT-450 is a 450 litre vertical pressure storage tank that holds your water pressure at a set level and stops your pump starting every time a tap is opened. It is ideal for large estates, hotels, farms and light industrial sites where pressure has to hold steady across many outlets.
Water is stored between a heavy-duty butyl diaphragm and an FDA grade polypropylene liner, so it never touches the steel shell. The pressurised air chamber above the diaphragm pushes stored water back into the system, cutting the number of pump starts, saving energy and extending pump life.
