Vetus flexible tanks can be installed easily and quickly. They assume the shape
of the space in which they are placed so they can be positioned in places that are
normally difficult to reach. Also, generally speaking, there is no need for any
additional installation parts. In actual fact, fitting the outlet nipple and connecting
the hoses for inlet and outlet are the only things to be done. All Vetus flexible
water tanks come with a 3 year warranty.
Vetus not only welds their seams, but in addition they also weld an extra
strip (see drawing A). This makes the Vetus flexible tank resistant against
much higher pressures, especially if the contents are moving when a ship
is rolling or pitching.
The fabric of Vetus flexible watertanks consists of three layers:
1. a wear resistant layer
2. a reinforcement layer
3. a taste-free layer
Vetus flexible watertanks are easily cleaned with a mixture of approx. 2
1/2 gallons of water with 1/2 gallon of white vinegar. Leave
the tank for about a fortnight and rise afterwards.
