PUK VARI TANK - AB Break Tank and Booster Set

The PUK VARI TANK is available in a selection of sizes from 250 litres up to 3000 litres allowing for a wide array of applications. The larger tanks are also available with an optional split seal to allow for transport through a standard sized UK doorway (see further down).

Sizes are Available: 250L – 500L – 750L – 1000L – 1500L – 2000L – 3000L

Each tank is made from fibreglass to a high standard and is a WRAS approved component. The walls and lid are reinforced for transportation and rigidity which also acts as insulation. The lid is removable and there is an inspection hatch for easy maintenance of the pump should it be needed or the tank need to be cleaned.

The AB air gap design means that the incoming water supply will never touch the existing water in the tank ensuring back contamination protection. This is done using a ball float inlet valve and we have the extra step that should the worst even happen and the valve fail we have weirs that guarantee the gap is kept. We have covers above the weirs to protect from dust and a wire mesh to keep the insects out.

On all of our booster sets we insist on using only use the highest quality pumps to ensure they operate reliably and quietly but the PUK Vari Tank has advantages over other models because the pumps are submerged underwater in the tank. The water reduces the pump noise further by dampening the soundwaves, unlike many other makes our tanks are reinforced/insulated within the composite layers creating an additional sound barrier.

Testing and explaining noise levels can have a lot of variables so we think an example real world application is the best proof of our claims. We have a PUK Vari Tank 250 in our offices so we tested the noise to see the results. The ambient noise in our utilities room was 40db, then we switched the pump on and the meter read 44db, only a small 4db increase.

We offer both single and twin pump options providing Duty only, Duty/Standby or Duty/Assist configurations. Each pump is independently inverter controlled and can be configured/monitored using the Nastec Now App (iOS/Android) using a compatible smart phone.

Our twin pump models have the added advantage of an easy to use control panel that distributes power to both pumps, built in ‘Safety Fill‘ technology (learn more) and makes control easy with LED status indicators and a power isolating switch.

There are also three standard performance levels to choose from as standard covering the most popular applications. Adding a second pump will double the flow or it can setup just as a backup.

• 60 Pump = 60 l/m | 1 l/s | 3.6 m3h @ 3 bar
• 90 Pump = 90 l/m | 1.5 l/s | 5.4 m3h @ 3 bar
• 120 Pump = 120 l/m | 2 l/s | 7.2 m3h @ 3 bar

We can also offer models custom performance (pressure/flow) models on request, just email boosters@pumpsukltd.co.uk with the specifications you need and we will do the rest.

We have a convenient ‘Split Tank’ option available to increase the practicality of installing our larger 1000~3000 litre models. This is where we construct the tank in two parts for easier transportation and installation that can then be reassembled on site. The location of the split seam changes depending on the model but it is usually across the middle of the tank making two more practically sized halves. The tank halves have a large moulded flange surface on each part that will be permanently sealed on-site using an extremely strong ‘water safe’ sealant and then firmly bolted together to ensure they are never coming apart again!

We carefully sized the tanks so that when the ‘Split Tank’ option is chosen then each half can fit through a standard UK doorway making it a lot easier to transport/store/position before final installation. Once completed the tank is as waterproof and if it was originally one piece and the added flange only increases the tanks physical strength!
