What Is a Break Tank & Why Is It Important?

A break tank provides Type A air gap protection, preventing backflow contamination of the mains water supply. This makes the ED50A range suitable for sites requiring enhanced water regulations compliance, including:

• Schools

• Care homes

• Nursing homes

• Public sector kitchens

• Food production areas

The break tank ensures safe water separation while maintaining consistent rinse pressure.

Optional Rinse Boost Pump for Consistent Results

Selected configurations include or allow for a rinse boost pump, which ensures stable rinse pressure regardless of incoming mains pressure fluctuations. Benefits include:

• Consistent rinse temperatures

• Improved hygiene performance

• Reliable sanitising results

• Reduced risk of poor wash outcomes

This feature is especially useful in buildings with low or inconsistent water pressure.

Integral Water Softener (AIS & AISD Models)

Hard water can cause limescale build-up that affects performance and longevity. The ED50AIS and ED50AISD models include a built-in water softener to:

• Prevent scale formation

• Protect heating elements

• Improve detergent efficiency

• Enhance wash clarity

• Reduce maintenance costs

This makes them ideal for businesses operating in hard water regions.
