Description
A vacuum breaker Oman customers can rely on protects FRP pressure vessels, sand filters, carbon filters and water softeners from collapsing under negative pressure. UV Water Systems supplies vacuum breakers in Muscat for residential, commercial and industrial water treatment plants, with stock available for quick delivery across the Sultanate of Oman.
When a pump stops, a line drains, or a backwash valve closes suddenly, a vacuum can form inside the vessel. Without a vacuum breaker, that suction can deform the tank liner, damage the distributor and pull media into the pipework. A small valve on top of the vessel prevents an expensive failure.
What Is a Vacuum Breaker for Water Treatment Vessels?
A vacuum breaker (also called an anti-vacuum valve or air admittance valve) opens automatically when the pressure inside the vessel drops below atmospheric pressure. It lets air in, equalises the pressure and closes again once the system is pressurised. You can read more about the principle on Wikipedia’s vacuum breaker page.
This model has a slotted strainer top that keeps media and debris away from the seat, and a threaded body with an O-ring seal for a leak-free fit on standard vessel ports.
