GRP Break Tanks
Ensure Zero Backflow and Water Contamination With a Break Tank
GRP Break Tanks Ensure Zero Backflow
Break Tanks Prevent Contamination and Create Pressure Zones
- Having an air lock ensures no water is able to back flow into the mains supply eliminating any risk of contamination of main potable water storage.
- Break tanks can be used as transitional tanks, which service as a divide for boosting systems into a number of controllable pressure zones.
- Nicholson Plastics provide insulated potable water storage tanks for domestic and commercial uses. All our water tanks are manufactured from GRP which is one of the strongest materials in the market.
