Most applications use the optional Hydroplex containment tank to capture the fluid. This tank should be located at an elevation lower than the pump pressure barrel so that the fluid drains into the tank and keeps the pump pressure barrel void of fluid. The tank includes a sight glass for visual monitoring of the fluid level, as well as a level switch that can be wired as a shutdown or alarm to warn of rising fluid level. The top of the tank includes a vent connection that should be piped to a vapor unit or into a dedicated vent header. Venting of the tank to a dedicated vent header provides a system such that even a failure of the level switch with a rising fluid level would do no damage; the fluid would be contained in this system.
