PSW-340 Aquatek 3/8 Tank Switch – Enhance Your Residential RO System’s Efficiency and Safety
The PSW-340 Aquatek 3/8 Tank Switch is designed to address common issues in residential reverse osmosis (RO) systems, providing reliable and efficient control over your water storage tank. Unlike generic tank switches, this component offers precise switching to protect your water softener or RO setup, reducing wear on pumps and preventing overflow or dry runs. Ideal for homeowners looking to optimize their water treatment accessories, it ensures seamless system integration with minimal maintenance.
Key Benefits
- Prevents water waste by accurately detecting tank water levels and switching off the system when full
- Protects your RO pump and system components from damage caused by over-pressurization or dry running
- Enhances overall system efficiency, reducing unnecessary energy consumption
- Easy to install and compatible with standard 3/8" tubing used in most residential RO accessories
- Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance in typical household water treatment environments
- Improves the safety and reliability of your water softener plus RO setup by providing consistent control
How It Works
The PSW-340 tank switch operates by monitoring the water pressure inside your RO system’s storage tank. When the tank fills to a preset pressure level, the switch automatically signals the system to stop water production, preventing overfilling. Conversely, when water is drawn from the tank and pressure drops, the switch triggers the system to resume production.
This simple yet effective mechanism ensures your residential RO accessories work harmoniously, protecting pumps and valves from damage and maintaining steady water flow without manual intervention.
What to Expect
After installing the PSW-340 Aquatek tank switch, you will immediately notice your RO system cycling more efficiently, with fewer interruptions or noises from pump overwork. During the first few days, the switch will calibrate naturally as it responds to your household’s water usage patterns.
Over the longer term, expect reliable and consistent performance with minimal maintenance required. The durable design helps prevent common failures, ensuring your water softener plus RO system remains protected and functioning smoothly.
