ST-5C THROUGH ST-201VC specifications

The Amtrol ST-5C to ST-201VC series of pressure tanks offer advanced solutions for water system storage and management, designed to enhance efficiency and durability in various applications. These tanks are particularly popular in residential and small commercial settings, where reliable water supply and quality are paramount.

One of the standout features of the Amtrol ST series is their unique construction. These tanks are crafted from high-quality materials that are resistant to corrosion and wear. The inner liner is made of FDA-approved materials, ensuring that no harmful substances leach into the stored water, maintaining its purity and safety for consumption.

The series employs a diaphragm design that separates the water from the air charge. This design minimizes water logging and maintains consistent pressure, resulting in a more reliable water supply. The diaphragm also prevents any contact between the water and the steel shell, significantly extending the life of the tank.

Another notable technology is the pre-charged feature, which simplifies installation and reduces maintenance needs. The tanks come fully charged with air, meaning users do not need to pre-pressurize them before installation. This saves time and ensures proper functionality right from the start. Additionally, the tanks are equipped with an easy-access air valve for convenient pressure adjustments.

In terms of size, the ST-5C to ST-201VC series includes a range of models, accommodating different storage needs from small households to larger facilities. This variety ensures that users can select a tank that best fits their specific water demand and space constraints.

Furthermore, Amtrol provides a robust warranty for these tanks, reflecting their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The combination of durable construction, innovative design, and efficient functionality makes the Amtrol ST-5C through ST-201VC series an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable water system solutions.
