The Silent Pressure Killer: Why Your Gravity Tank Needs a Breath
Ever wonder why your shower feels like a leaky faucet even when the rooftop tank is full? The secret isn't always the pump—it's the air.
In a gravity-fed system, water needs to flow down smoothly. But as water leaves the tank, air often gets trapped in the "humps" or vertical bends of your pipes. This creates an airlock. Without a proper vent (or respirator), that trapped air acts like a physical plug, fighting against the water and killing your pressure.
The Fix:
By installing a Vent Pipe (Air Outlet) at the highest point after the tank outlet, you allow that trapped air to escape freely. This ensures a constant, heavy flow of water to your shower and taps, giving you the "Complete Water Flow" you deserve!
