Applications The Reflex pressure tank is an energy saving device that stores energy in the form of pressurised water. The energy is transformed by the pump from electricity to water pressure. With a Reflex pressure tank, there is no loss of energy once it has been stored in the device, and pump start events can be cut by between 40 and 80 per cent while saving power and extending pump life. The Reflex tank is easy to fit to most pumps and can also be wall mounted. The tank can be installed within minutes and the system can be fitted to any brand or type of pump. Information.
