The break tanks by GEP can be applied at installations where a short disconnection of the water network is requires or is mandatory. The most important reason to use a disconnection tank is to prevent the contamination of the water supply by the presence of substances in the event of back-flow of the water. This includes slaughterhouses, mortuaries, dentists, irrigation, laboratories, drinking water trays livestock, car washes, laundries etc. But break tanks are also used in systems with stagnant water such as sprinkler systems, extinguishing water, etc. Even in places
where they add substances to the water, such as antibiotics, one is obliged to place a disconnection tank between the drinking water supply and the indoor installation.
The GEP Breaktank Break 1 is in reality used in water systems with a relatively low required flow level or where there is little free space available. Examples of these installations are in laboratories, dental practices, etc.
The Breaktank Break 1 by GEP consists out of a very small tank with a volume of 8 litres. The drinking water connection is located on the side of the unit and is conform to EN1717.
