Sorry Jim, the couple of 3 disadvantages, turned into 2, and both are incorrect. (1) The tank under my Bambi couch, is round, very light and made of Aluminum. It is 25 gallons, and more than adequate, for my needs. It easily holds 50 or 60 lbs, but the incoming regulator, keeps the pressure lower. (2) The little air compressor, has been without problems, and only needs to run, a few seconds, to generate the pressure needed to push a little water out at the sink. I have a hand held sprayer, for the toilet that works fine for flushing. It uses less water, and is handy in tight quarters. (3) Which you did not mention, is the ease with which, you can drain and blow the system, for winterization. I never hear that pump, come on with Click, Click, Click. It is a much better system, In My Humble Opinion. Come on Jim, you can think of more reasons. 8^) Bill Scott Charter Member and Membership Chairman Washington DC Unit, WBCCI #3221 Our Homepage; http://www.servintfree.net/wbcci-dc/
Bill, There's a couple or 3 advantages to the newer water systems with a demand pump: 1. The tank can be lighter, larger, and more flexible in shape. IE: a large, rectangular, flat tank can be designed to fit under a low couch or any other available space. The pressurized system demands a heavy steel tank that's round to handle the pressure. 2. I suspect that the air compressors used in the pressurized systems are somewhat more problematic than the demand pumps, but have no data to support that. The main thing is #1 above; it's easy to design and build a 30-gallon (or larger) tank when it can be any shape that's needed to fill whatever space is available. The only advantage that I see to a pressurized system is that the compressor/pump doesn't have to run every time you need a cup or 2 of water. That's not a big deal to me. <<Jim>> Bill Scott wrote: > > Excellent reply Don Horn.
