Description
X1 Litre Water Pressure Vessel for Mobile Water Systems.
Smoother Water Pressure & Less Pump Cycling
Make your mobile water system work more smoothly with the X1 Litre Water Pressure Vessel, a compact pressure vessel designed to help maintain steadier water pressure and reduce unnecessary pump starts.
Ideal for small mobile water systems, this 1-litre pressure vessel stores a small amount of pressurised water, helping your pump manage changes in water demand more efficiently.
When you open a tap briefly or use a small amount of water, the vessel can supply some of that water without immediately requiring the pump to start.
This helps reduce frequent pump cycling, supports smoother water delivery and can help minimise wear on your pump's components.
Why You'll Love It

-
Helps Maintain Steady Water Pressure: Reduces pressure fluctuations during use.
-
Reduces Frequent Pump Cycling: Helps prevent the pump from switching on for every small water demand.
-
Smoother Water Flow: Helps reduce pressure surges when taps are opened and closed.
-
Supports Pump Longevity: Reducing unnecessary starts can help minimise wear on compatible pumps.
-
Suitable for Mobile Water Systems: A practical addition to caravans, campers and other compact water setups.
-
Operating Pressure Range: Rated from 1.5 bar up to a maximum of 6 bar.
-
Installed After the Pump: Designed to be fitted on the delivery side of a compatible water pump.
How Does a Water Pressure Vessel Work?
A water pressure vessel, also known as a pressure accumulator, helps manage pressure changes in a pumped water system.
When your pump runs, the vessel stores a small amount of water under pressure.
As you use water, the vessel can release some of that stored water back into the system.
This helps maintain a more consistent flow and reduces the need for the pump to start every time a small amount of water is used.
For example, if you briefly open a tap to rinse your hands, the vessel may supply the water without immediately activating the pump, depending on the system pressure and pump settings.
Ideal Applications
The X1 Litre Water Pressure Vessel is suitable for compatible small water systems, including:
-
Caravans & Campervans: Help maintain smoother water pressure at taps and outlets.
-
Motorhomes: Reduce unnecessary pump starts in compact water systems.
-
Mobile Water Supply Systems: Improve pressure stability in suitable portable setups.
-
Small Diaphragm Pump Systems: Help reduce frequent cycling in compatible pressure-controlled pumps.
-
Compact Water Pressure Systems: Provide additional pressure storage where space is limited.

Helps Reduce Pump Wear
Frequent starting and stopping can place unnecessary strain on a water pump, particularly in systems where small amounts of water are used regularly.
By storing a small amount of pressurised water, the 1-litre pressure vessel helps reduce short cycling and allows the pump to operate more smoothly.
This can be particularly useful in caravans and mobile water systems where taps are frequently opened for short periods.
Installation Information
The X1 Litre Water Pressure Vessel should be installed after the pump on the delivery pipeline.
For best results:
-
Install the vessel on the pressure side of a compatible pump.
-
Ensure the system pressure does not exceed the vessel's maximum rating of 6 bar.
-
Check that the vessel is compatible with your pump's pressure settings.
-
Use suitable pressure-rated pipes, fittings and connections.
-
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and pressure adjustment.
-
If the vessel has an adjustable air pre-charge, set it according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Important Information
-
Vessel Only: The water pump and connecting pipework are not included.
-
1-Litre Capacity: Designed for smaller water systems rather than large household pressure storage applications.
-
Maximum Pressure: Do not exceed 6 bar.
-
Pump Compatibility: Check that the vessel is suitable for your pump's operating and cut-in pressures.
-
Not a Pump: The vessel helps stabilise pressure but does not generate additional water pressure on its own.
If you're looking for a simple way to reduce pump cycling and enjoy smoother water flow in your caravan, motorhome or mobile water system, the X1 Litre Water Pressure Vessel is a practical addition to your setup.
