WELL & PUMP MAINTENANCE:
MOBILE WATER TOWER
(PORTA-TOWER)
DEWATERING TRADITIONAL ELEVATED STORAGE TANKS FOR
CLEANING AND REPAIR CAN BE COSTLY AND TIME-CONSUMING.
As a general rule, elevated storage tanks are dewatered for cleaning and/or painting
every six to ten years. This process can take from one to two months to complete.
While water tower repair & maintenance construction is underway, water supplies of
sufficient pressure and quantity must be supplied to consumers. Layne's Porta-Tower
unit can help to reduce the costs associated with providing this temporary water supply
and keep your personnel time to a minimum. Layne's Porta-Tower is a trailer-mounted
tank that temporarily converts an existing storage tank system to a hydropneumatic
pressure system.
PORTA-TOWER BENEFITS



Reduce strain on wells, pumps and aquifers as the Porta-Tower unit is hooked to
the existing water supply.
Avoid wasting valuable water supplies; water supply is only consumed when
needed.
Keep personnel monitoring time to a minimum because the internal control system
on the unit monitors pressure.
FEATURES

Pressure relief valves and required piping
Prior to each use, the Porta-Tower is sterilized using the built-in chlorine irrigation
system. This unique process allows fast and efficient sterilization of the PortaTower.
Can be used with existing or temporary Variable Speed systems to control
pressure surges and water hammer.
