Pressure Tank

The SubDrive needs only a small pressure tank to maintain constant pressure (see table below for recommended tank size). For pumps rated 12 gpm or more, a slightly larger tank is recommended for optimum pressure regulation. The SubDrive can also use an existing tank with a much larger capacity.
