High Pressure Compensation

Alternative System for High Pressure or Pumped Water Supply Break the pressure by using a ball cock in a tank. The tank is elevated to provide the pressure, whilst the ball cock keeps the tank topped up. The advantage of this system is that it is easier to monitor the amount of water applied if you turn off the incoming water once the tank is full. It is also very easy to apply liquid feed. No atmospheric losses are experienced as the nutrients are delivered directly to the root zone.
