Composite bottles

Aqua Service almost always uses composite bottles. These consist of an inner polyethylene casing and a reinforced fibreglass outer casing. The bottles are designed in such a way that they may withstand a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. They are available in volumes from 4 to 6600 L. Their maximum operating temperature may not exceed 50°C.

The main types

1. Bottles without a base with a 2”1/2 top opening. These are mainly used in compact domestic water softeners.
