A break tank is a reservoir which is placed between the water gauge and one or more connection point. Break tanks are also known as disconnection tanks. Such break tanks are applied where a where an interruption of the water supply is necessary or mandatory. The most important reason for using a disconnection tank is the prevention of contamination of the water network due to the presence of dirt particles in case of back flow of the water.

Applications 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 backflow 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.
