APT-40H is designed for 5-8 person households, provide stable water pressure for showers, dishwashers, washing machines, and other fixtures.
APT-40H has a total volume of 40 liters (10 gallons). The tank is designed for a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar (150 psi) and a maximum operating temperature of 90 °C (194 °F). It is factory pre-charged to 2 bar (30 psi) for stable system performance.
With a diameter of 35.5 cm, a height of 38.93 cm and a length of 43.2 cm, the lightweight 6.6 kg design makes installation quick and convenient while saving space.
Product Overview
The APT-40H is a 40-liter (10-gallon) horizontal diaphragm pressure tank designed for ESP booster pump systems using ¾ HP to 1 HP motors. It stabilizes water pressure and reduces cycling pump.
APT-40H is ideal for regions with unstable or fluctuating municipal water pressure, widely used in homes and buildings where booster pumps are required. Its hygienic internal design, separate water from compressed gas and prevent water contact directly with the tank shell, ensures safe operation for cold sanitary water circuits, pressurized systems, and water storage applications. Its horizontal configuration makes it ideal for space-limited installations, pump skids, and compact residential booster systems.
Manufactured with premium materials and certified by NSF, CE, WaterMark, IAPMO, and other international bodies, APT-40H complies with global standards including those in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Produced in ISO-certified facilities, Aquasky pressure tanks delivers long service life, dependable performance, and safe drinking-water compatibility.

Key Features & Design Advantages
How the Pumplus Pressure Tank Works
APT-40H stores supplemental water between the butyl rubber diaphragm and the polypropylene liner, while the nitrogen-filled air chamber maintains constant system pressure. When water demand occurs, the compressed nitrogen pushes water into the system at a controlled pressure.
This design ensures stable performance and supports reliable operation for showers, faucets, dishwashers, washing machines, and other fixtures.

Typical Applications
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
A: Yes. A 40-liter (10-gallon) tank is generally sufficient for most 2–3-story homes with 5-8 people. The APT-40H can support 4-5 faucets running at the same time, provides stable water pressure for showers, and can reduce booster pump start/stop frequency by over 60%.
In case your home has 7-10 people, 3-4-story, or frequent high-volume, simultaneous water usage -> Choose APT-60H. It supports 6-7 faucets at once and offers greater reserve capacity.
Quick guide:
APT-40H: 5-8 people, 2-3-story, 4-5 outlets.
APT-60H: 7-10 people, 3-4-story, 6-7 outlets.
A: We strongly recommend having the APT-40H installed by a qualified plumber or technician for the following reasons:
Safety & Proper Setup: The APT- 40H is a pressure vessel, and correct installation is critical. A professional will ensure:
• The pre-charge pressure is set correctly (typically 2 PSI below the system cut-in pressure).
• All pipe connections are properly sealed and leak-free.
• The installation location can safely support the unit's weight.
System Compatibility: The tank must be correctly integrated with your booster pump, pressure switch, and piping system to ensure stable performance and avoid operational issues.
Warranty Protection: Installation by a non-professional may affect your product warranty coverage.
A professional technician can typically complete the installation, testing, and calibration within 2–3 hours.
A: The APT-40H is designed to be “maintenance-free”.
Simply check the pre-charge pressure once every 1–2 years using a standard tire pressure gauge. If the pressure is low, you can refill the Nitrogen by yourself or ask a plumber to do it.
Service Life: Under normal operating conditions (water temperature ≤ 99°C, pressure ≤ 10 bar), APT-40H designed to last over 10 years. Many of our customers have used it for over 15 years with normal operation.
Warranty: We offer a 3-year factory warranty covering manufacturing defects and material flaws.
Installation Tip: Ask your plumber to measure your water pressure during installation and recommend the most suitable system configuration.
