US Water Systems 80 Gallon Retention Tank Mixes Water Like No Other Tank

Retention tanks are typically utilized to assure contact time adequate to kill bacteria, mix chemicals properly or allowed chemical reactions to fully occur. The retention tank ensures uniform mixing and sufficient residence time to meet the CT (contact time) standard set by most health agencies in the United States. This remains true even when water is flowing continuously. With a 0.6 baffle factor, as tested by the Water Quality Association test labs, it also takes up less space because one tank does the work of 3 normal tanks.
