A Guide on Accumulator Tanks
Insufficient water flow is a common problem in households,yet most people are not aware that there is a simple solution available. Accumulator Tanks are an efficient and energy saving solution to ensure and maintain sufficient water flow around the property.
A symptom of poor flow is when someone else in the home turns on a tap, the water flow in the shower changes which can result in the water getting very hot due to an insufficient flow of cold water.
In situations where you may have 2 or more showers in the property, an Accumulator Tank will ensure that sufficient water flow is maintained no matter how many showers are being used simultaneously. Accumulators are also commonplace on farms as it allows the farmer to use their own borehole, rather than mains water.
Are There Any Limits on Where They Can Be Used?
Not at all. Accumulators can be run in series so you can get as much water flow as you need without any limitations.
What Sizes Do They Come In?
Accumulator Tanks come in a variety of sizes from very small 100 litre tanks which are great for small residential properties, all the way up to 4000 litres which are ideal for use on agricultural farms.
What Does Someone Need to Do Before Buying an Accumulator Tank?
First, you will need to do a static water test on your property to tell what pressure you currently have, then we need to know how big the property is so we can work out the water usage to correctly determine what size accumulator is required.
