Usually made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this is where the spraying solution is stored. Most tanks hold between 12 to 20 liters.


Pump Mechanism

Operated by a hand lever, either piston-type or diaphragm-type, which pressurizes the liquid inside the tank.

Bundles of black and turquoise tubing with connectors lie on a wet floor, creating a pattern. The mood is utilitarian and organized.
