Diaphragm Tank

Aquaflo Pressure Tanks are manufactured by Global Water Solutions, an American company that is a leader in the manufacture of diaphragm pressure tanks.

Small on Size, Big On Performance

Aquaflo pressure tanks are 99% efficient. Conventional pressure tanks use only 25% of the water inside them. While a 42 gallon tank might look impressive, in reality, only approximately 12 gallons are used (“draw down”). With Aquaflo pressure tanks, 99% of the water is used. Thus, you can get rid of the excess size needed by conventional pressure tanks. This allows Aquaflo tanks to deliver the same performance while reducing it’s size.

No Maintenance Needed

Aquaflo pressure tanks use a butyl diaphragm that separates the water inside the pressure tank from the tank’s metal surface, thereby eliminating corrosion and rust possibilities. Since the water is also separated from the pressurized air inside the tank, water-logging is eliminated. The double seal installed in its air intake prevents air leaks. Thus, after it’s initial installation, the Aquaflo pressure tank will continue to work with no further maintenance necessary.

Electricity Savings Galore

Aquaflo pressure tanks are energy saving devices. Since pressure tanks reduce the start-stop cycles of pumps, Aquaflo pressure tanks are an effective way of reducing the frequency of electricity surges needed to start a pump. The larger the pressure tank, the higher the electricity savings.

Things to know before buying water pumps

1. It can be very confusing when looking for your first water tank pump. I have been caught out with other import or Chinese pumps to write this as there are many technical terms used often and also many.

2. Horsepower or Wats: Many sellers and customers think that that horsepower or watts determines how powerful the flow and pressure will be. This is far from the truth. The power rating is only an indication of how much electricity a pump uses when turned on. It has no direct relationship with flows or pressures.

3. Cast Iron pump does rust out at the wet end, they are normally so thick that they take up to 15 years to create any major problems and by this stage most people have repaired the seals 2 or 3 time and often replaced the pump rather then repairing it due to cost. So the only advantage of stainless generally is looks.

4. Don't be afraid to ask the seller how long they have been selling pumps and also how long they have been selling that particular brand of pump. As mentioned, many have just popped up on the market for the boom in pumps and water tanks. They are often gone as fast as they pop up.
