The process involves connecting a vessel to a water system to maintain water pressure, reducing pump cycling and prolonging its lifespan. This involves plumbing connections, electrical wiring (if applicable), and proper system settings to ensure optimal operation.
Such installations are crucial for maintaining consistent water availability in residential and commercial settings, particularly where well pumps are utilized. The resulting stable pressure prevents water hammer and reduces energy consumption associated with frequent pump starts and stops. Historically, these tanks were larger and more cumbersome, while modern designs offer improved efficiency and compact sizes.
